I have value on string:

String htmlValue = "<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: impact, chicago; font-size: 18px;">Exchange Offer !!&nbsp;</span></div>
    <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">any mobile phone</span> , <span style="font-size: 14px;">give your</span> <span style="font-family: impact, chicago; font-size: 20px;">take new one</span>.</div>";

and how to display such type div included in textview.

I have try this but only content display div styling could not display.

Spanned result= Html.fromHtml(htmlValue);
tvFooter.setText(result);

or

 tvFooter.setText(Html.fromHtml(htmlValue));

Here Defined: http://commonsware.com/blog/Android/2010/05/26/html-tags-supported-by-textview.html , div supported but could get exact expected output by doing above. I have both of above trick, but not working.

Error Output:

Expected Output like this

  • show code of where you set htmlValue – Jemshit Apr 08 '15 at 10:50
  • I got this string value from server, and just want to display on **textview**. what i try , i gave above sample. – Bixms Apr 08 '15 at 10:51
  • but inside you have nested "", try putting \ before all " inside string – Jemshit Apr 08 '15 at 10:52
  • The " problem would cause a compile error. So that is unlikely to be the actual issue. @Bixms: The image, is that the expected output or the actual output. If it is not the actual output, please add an image of the actual output. – Knossos Apr 08 '15 at 10:53
  • I don't immediately see why you are facing issues. However, there are different methods you can use as reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/29004794/503508 – Knossos Apr 08 '15 at 10:59
  • @Knossos it does not even compile with multiple " – Jemshit Apr 08 '15 at 11:03

    @Bixms it appears to be "style" tag is not supported : http://daniel-codes.blogspot.com.tr/2011/04/html-in-textviews.html – Jemshit Apr 08 '15 at 11:09
  • Are you sure that you have to use TextView? You can play with WebView. – vdmytsyk Apr 08 '15 at 11:12

As I scanned the source code of /frameworks/base/core/java/android/text/Html.java , the attribute style and the tag span are not supported. Suggest using webview instead of textview

Following tags or attributes seems to be supported in Lollipop,

 - <br>
 - <p>
 - <div>
 - <strong>
 - <b>
 - <em>
 - <cite>
 - <dfn>
 - <i>
 - <big>
 - <small>
 - <font color="..." face="...">
 - <blockquote>
 - <tt>
 - <monospace>
 - <a href="...">
 - <u>
 - <sup>
 - <sub>
 - <h1>
 - <h2>
 - <h3>
 - <h4>
 - <h5>
 - <h6>
 - <img src="...">

You need to write \ before inside " because they're closing your string before they properly end, like Jemshit Iskenderov says.

Also, the tags style and span can't be shown in a textview. Check this link for a list of HTML tags that work in textview.

All html tags are not supported by Html.fromHtml() check here the supported tags in textview.So better you use webview instead of textview to load the html content. like

 yourwebview.loadData(yourhtmlData, "text/html", "UTF-8");
