How to display double quotes(") Symbol in a TextView?

Question

I\'m trying to display some words in double quotes, in Text view in in xml file. But its not working. Pls help me.

Answer 1

You can use Unicode in any xml file

android:text="message \u0022quote string 1\u0022 and \u0022quote string 2\u0022 end message"

http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0022/index.htm there scroll down to C/C++/Java source code

Answer 2

Use " symbol to solve this hardcode problem :)

android:text="message "quote string 1"" 

Answer 3

In the strings.xml, you can simply escape special characters (eg double quotes) with a backslash :

"message \"quote string 1\" and \"quote string 2\" end message"

But in views xml (eg layout.xml), you have to use HTML character entities (like ") :

"message "quote string 1" and "quote string 2" end message"
