Textview fromHtml bold tag not properly shown

Question

I am using fromHtml for some words, but it not properly shown.Sorry my bad english.

        Typeface tfArial = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "arialtur.otf");

    String yazi="Deneme "+"<strong>"+"must be bold"+"</strong>"+" kayıt.";
    Spanned text1 = Html.fromHtml(yazi);
    TextView aa= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.metin1);
    TextView ab= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.metin2);

    aa.setText(text1);
    aa.setTypeface(tfArial);        
    ab.setText("Non arial font");

Why is it "not properly shown" ? What is the actual problem ? — mithrop, Oct 27 '14 at 13:23
Try Typeface TfArialBold = Typeface.create(tfArial, Typeface.BOLD); and use aa.setTypeface(tfArialBold); — reactivemobile, Oct 27 '14 at 13:26
I have a regular font, bold font is must be in seperate file, or each file? — manowar_manowar, Oct 27 '14 at 13:27

In case of  tag in resourses string you could wrap text in <![CDATA[ and ]]>, i.e.:

<string name="textWithBold"><![CDATA[<b>BoldText</b>]]></string>

Then you could get and show it so:

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.textWithBold)));

 HTML tag is not a "styling" tag. It's here only to indicates that the content is important. The default style of the  relies on the web engine implementation.

You can have some information on these two links :

Try to use  instead of  if you want a bold text.

You have now to check your custom TypeFace if the "bold" version is correctly created. – mithrop Oct 27 '14 at 13:32

you can do this several ways like

Typeface tfArial =Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"arialtur.otf");
String yazi="Deneme <strong> must be bold </strong> kayıt.";
 // OR  String yazi="Deneme <b> must be bold </b> kayıt.";

TextView aa= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.metin1);
TextView ab= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.metin2);
aa.setText(Html.fromHtml(yazi));
aa.setTypeface(tfArial); 
 //OR  aa.setTypeface(tfArial,Typeface.BOLD);      
ab.setText("Non arial font");

Example :

using strong tag

Deneme must be bold kayıt.

using b tag

Deneme must be bold kayıt

Try this.

String message ="Deneme "+"<b>"+"must be bold"+"</b>"+" kayıt.";
aa.setText(Html.fromHtml(message));

You can also do same thing from XML by useing of HTML tag
