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

If you have a double-quote in your string, you must escape it (\"). Surrounding the string with single-quotes does not work.

In strings.xml

<string name="good_example">This is a \"good string\".</string>

Answer 2

Use single quotes to wrap the message and you can use as many double-quotes as you want inside the string.

android:text='message "quote string 1" and "quote string 2" end message'

Answer 3

use escape characters. To display double quote use \"

Your code will be

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