How to show html text in BlackBerry?

Question

Is there any way to show LOCAL html string in my BB application?

For example: I have a string

"<b>text-text-text</b> <A href="http://stackoverflow.com">link</A>"

How can I parse and show it as

text-text-text link?

Thanks.

You can use a BrowserField to render content in your application as a Field. In order to render HTML provided as a String rather than a URL, see this answer which involves mocking an HttpConnection.

                } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }   

        }
    }

}

That will open a new browser -- I think the author of the question is looking for a solution that renders the HTML inside the application itself. — Marc Novakowski, Dec 30 '09 at 17:21

Try this one :

BrowserField myBrowserField;
myBrowserField = new BrowserField();
add(myBrowserField);
String content ="<html><head></head><body>"+
    "<b>text-text-text</b> <A href="http://stackoverflow.com">link</A>"+
    "</body></html>";
myBrowserField.displayContent(content,"");//"http://localhost"
