I have buttons that write into a textview. I want to write "?", but it's not allowed in strings.xml. So, I want the button to have different value (which is written to the textview) than the text in the button. How can I do this? Thanks in advance.

? is allowed in strings.xml – KitAndKat Mar 11 '14 at 16:20

No it says "error: Error: Resource id cannot be an empty string (at 'buttonq' with value '?')." – Tamas Koos Mar 11 '14 at 16:24

@KitAndKat : not in first position, as it is interpreted as designing an id `?string/bla` – njzk2 Mar 11 '14 at 16:25

Use
<string name="question">\?</string>
to escape the question mark.

Also , you can try Html.fromHtml programmatically. Following link discusses that. android-TextView setText in Html.fromHtml to display image and text
