Android: formatting portion of text doesn't work
android, android-textattributes, textview
Solution
taken from this SO thread
use this
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(someText));
or from xml by this way
You CAN include raw HTML in strings.xml, as long as you wrap it in
<![CDATA[ ...raw html... ]]>
Example:
<string name="nice_html">
<![CDATA[
<p>This is a html-formatted string with <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i> text</p>
<p>This is another paragraph of the same string.</p>
]]>
</string>
Then, in your code:
TextView foo = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.foo);
foo.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.nice_html)));
you can also backslash-escape apostrophes/single-quotes inside the CDATA block, so you can have things like `<b>can\'t</b>` instead of the infinitely-uglier `<b>can't</b>`
Problem
In my strings.xml file I have defined the following: ``` <string name="mystring"><b>Bold text</b>Non-bold text</string> ``` It should work, as it's specified here. But actually only bold text is displayed, and the other part of text is gone.
