Show in textview html with inline styles

Question

I need to show html with inline styles in my app. There are a lot of text that must be in different views so I can\'t use Webview(I tried

Answer 1

Android native TextView doesn't support all HTML tags and features. It only does support a few tags and properties. So, in your case, there's a couple of options which you may want to consider.

• Use WebView to show rich texts. However, WebViews are too heavy and slow.

• Use 3rd party libraries that improve native TextView and support more HTML tags. For example: HTML-TextView.

Answer 2

Only one way to implement this is to use a 3rd party libraries as alternative for Android Html.fromHtml () method like this, which supports a CSS attributes, so for example

<div style="font-weight:bold;">bold text</div>

become

<b>bold text</b>
