Question

I want to style my content with some bold text and even linked text. I Googled as usual for the answer to do this possible and I found this website: . The funny thing here is that none of those examples works for me!

Here’s my the code in About.java:

public class About extends Activity {
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.about);

        SpannableString ss = new SpannableString("\"Vädret just nu\" är en webbaserad");

        ss.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD), 2, 14, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

        TextView t4 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.about_app);
        t4.setText(ss);
        t4.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
    }

}

Vädret just nu should be bold with that code, right? It isn’t! I’m quite frustrated right now but I’m also new in this area. How can I fix my small problem?

Answer 1

I make it work now! Here’s the solution:

TextView t4 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.hello);
t4.setText(Html.fromHtml("\"<b>Vädret just nu</b>\" är en webbaserad tjänst och kan därför enbart visas i en webbläsare. Välj \"<b>Om</b>\" i menyn för att läsa mer om applikationen."));
