Question

i have a very huge HTML string in my app.

When I use it in the code, everything is fine but when I try to declare it in strings.xml, I am getting some errors. Is there a way to make a simple copy of the string in strings.xml? Thank you

HTML and XML are the same basic language, I do not believe that you can store HTML in a string, why not save the html page and package it with the application?

Save the page as a html page in res > raw and then call this method

 String html = Utils.readRawTextFile(ctx, R.raw.rawhtml);

 public static String readRawTextFile(Context ctx, int resId)
     {
          InputStream inputStream = ctx.getResources().openRawResource(resId);

             ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

             int i;
              try {
               i = inputStream.read();
               while (i != -1)
                  {
                   byteArrayOutputStream.write(i);
                   i = inputStream.read();
                  }
                  inputStream.close();
              } catch (IOException e) {
                  return null;
              }
                 return byteArrayOutputStream.toString();
     }
