Android Html.fromHtml(String) doesn't work for text

Question

I am trying to add lines with different colors to my TextView using html tags.

For whatever reason,

    Html.fromHtml(\"

        

Answer 1

My answer involves guesswork about your code, but here goes:

When you use the font tag: DO NOT include an alpha channel so that your hex string looks like "#ff123456". If you use Integer.toHexString(), you will have an alpha channel in that result.

It worked when i used substring(2) on my hex string from rescource.

To sum up:

text.setText(Html.fromHtml("text"));

will work, but:

text.setText(Html.fromHtml("text"));

won't!
