Question

input.replace("&amp;", "&").replace("&lt;", "<").replace("&gt;", ">").replace("&quot;", "\"");

im using this line of code as a sudo htmlspecialchars converter. with my application, it doesnt need to be too elaborate.

for some reason the above code does not replace(“&”, “&”), it doesnt seem to do anything.

any advice?

input = input.replaceAll("[^\\x20-\\x7e]", "");

i also tried this.

In android there is one class Html inside android.text.Html which you can use like this as below:

Html.fromHtml(any_html_text);

But this function will return Spanned object so use

Spanned spn=Html.fromHtml(any_html_text);

You can set this spanned text to any button or textview text Hope it will help you.
