How To Show Html Codes Inside Textview Or Something Else On Android?

How can I show html source as rendered in TextView or something else? I tried this: @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceStat

Solution 1:

HTML support in a TextView is pretty limited, but here is an example of some of the things you can do:

https://github.com/brianjolly/TextFun

The key is escaping the opening bracket in your strings.xml

<stringname="fun_text">I like &lt;font color=\'0x00b0f1\'>BLUE!&lt;/font> and &lt;b> Bold&lt;/b> and &lt;i> italic&lt;/i> and &lt;u> underline&lt;/u></string>

And then resetting the text like so:

StringstyledText= tv.getText().toString();
tv.setText(Html.fromHtml(styledText), TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);

The beauty of open source is you can see what Html.fromHtml() supports in the android source here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/java/android/text/Html.java

If you're looking to do something more advanced take a look at WebView
