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

That looks like a very dark color, are you sure that your screen is capable to display such colors, so you can distinguish them from black? The code snippet looks good, I've tried similar code many times and it worked like a charm. Try it with somewhat brighter, i.e. #ff0000 (red), to verify that it works:

TextView text = ... // find or instantinate your text view.
text.setText(Html.fromHtml("text"));
