Question

I have a string-array in strings.xml. How can I underline the string in item?

I’ve added like this in the string

<string-array name="myarray">
 <item> <Data> <![CDATA[ <u>Apple</u> ]]></Data> </item>`
<item> <Data> <![CDATA[ <u>Banana</u> ]]></Data> </item>
<item> <Data> <![CDATA[ <u>Orange</u> ]]></Data> </item>

and in the java file like this

final Button btn1;
    btn1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    btn1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            final String q = myString[rgenerator.nextInt(myString.length)];
            ((Button) v).setText(q);


ArrayList<String> title_list = new ArrayList<String>();
String[] myarray_Array = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.myarray);
String categoryAndDesc = null;
for(String cad : myarray_Array) {
  categoryAndDesc = cad;
  title_list.add(categoryAndDesc);
}
CharSequence sequence = Html.fromHtml(categoryAndDesc);

btn1.setText(squence);
btn1.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
});

I will make a button that when clicked it will show random text taken from a string, What is wrong with the code above, please its support

Answer 1

use this:

String[] myarray_Array = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.array);
String text =myarray_Array[0];
SpannableString content = new SpannableString(text);
content.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), 6, 11, 0);
textview.setText(content);

or you can use:

String[] myarray_Array = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.array);
String text =myarray_Array[0];
textview.setText(Html.fromHtml(""+"<u>" +text+ "</u>));
