Question

I am receiving a webservice strings in html code, and needed to put them in this html code to put a TextView.

Example:

String str = "<b>Hello</b>";

// my attempt
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(str)); 
// this only convert to <b>Hello</b> instead of running the html code.

Answer 1

Well that’s an ugly trick but it works:

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(Html.fromHtml(str).toString()));
