Android Display HTML in a ListView

Question

Sorry if this is obvious to everyone else but I am having a minor difficulty understanding how to display html inside my listview.

My list view is declared.

Answer 1

If you have the possibility of loading your texts from strings.xml, adding the tag there will automatically bold your text. If however your texts are dynamic, you will have to create a custom adapter, and in it to set the text using textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(yourText));

Answer 2

If you are using a SimpleAdapter, here is the code that enables HTML on a TextView.

adapter.setViewBinder(new SimpleAdapter.ViewBinder() {  
    public boolean setViewValue(View view, Object data, String textRepresentation) {  
        if (data instanceof Spanned && view instanceof TextView) {  
            ((TextView) view).setText((Spanned) data);  
        } else {  
            ((TextView) view).setText(Html.fromHtml(String.valueOf(data))); 
        }  
        return true;  
        }  
    }  
);

if you use ksoap for html data from any database engine

yourVariable=String.valueOf(Html.fromHtml(ic.getProperty(0).toString()))

Answer 4

Ok, so Jitendra Sharma was had the right idea for my scenario, but I needed to override the getView method. Or at least that is what worked for me. Then in the getView method I was able to set my text to render in html.

            ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(SearchByFood.this, R.layout.new_list_view, arr_sort)
            {
                @Override
                public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) 
                {
                    View row;

                    if (null == convertView) {
                    row = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.new_list_view, null);
                    } else {
                    row = convertView;
                    }

                    TextView tv = (TextView) row.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
                    tv.setText(Html.fromHtml(getItem(position)));
                    //tv.setText(getItem(position));

                    return row;
                }

            };
            lv1.setAdapter(adapter);

Answer 5

override getItem method of the Adapter and do the following:

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter= ArrayAdapter<String>(SearchByFood.this, R.layout.new_list_view, arr_sort){
     public Object getItem(int position)
     {
          return Html.fromHtml(arr_sort.get(position));
     }
};

Answer 6

    adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(rr.getContext(),android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,titulos)
    {
        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
        {
            View row;

            if (null == convertView) {
                row = getLayoutInflater().inflate(android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, null);
            } else {
                row = convertView;
            }
            TextView tv = (TextView) row.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
            tv.setText(Html.fromHtml(getItem(position)));
            return row;
        }
    };
    lista.setAdapter(adapter);
