Question

I have to display some long text on a TextView, i tried to put it on strings.xml variable but had that problem Apostrophe not preceded by \. I used Java code to set the TextView but all the text must be on one line, and i want that the compiler detects return to line.

My question what is the best approach to make that ?
Thanks for helping.

Answer 1

Use mTextSample.setText(Html.fromHtml(text)); Where you can show anything in your TextView using Html.fromHtml().

Example (Some uses):

String styledText = "This is <font color='red'>simple</font>.";
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(styledText), TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);

.

myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<h2>Title</h2><br><p>Description here</p>"));

And some uses :

Android Html.fromHtml takes too long

Display HTML Formatted String

Happy coding 🙂
