Question

for example:

I have a string in the resources:

<string name="smth"><small>hey girls</small></string>

When I use it in the xml resource files (for example in some text view),

android:text="@string/smth"

no problem whatsoever. It takes into account the "small" tag. It makes the string smaller. But when I want to use it like this:

String smth = getString(R.string.smth);

someTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml(smth));

the string doesn’t have any tags!!!

Any help appreciated.

Why not try to replace ‘<‘, ‘>’ and ‘\’ by the corresponding unicode characters?
