ANDROID: Formatted text in ArrayList

Question

I have this code:

public static HashMap<String, List<String>> getInfo()

{

HashMap<String, List<String>> Conteudo = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();

List<String> Areas_Processos = new ArrayList<>();

Areas_Processos.add("<>start of bold directive<>"+"4 - text four"+"end of bold directive<>");

...

}

The output is <>start of bold directive<>4 - Text four <>end of bold directive<>, showing the directives to format the texts.

My expectation is to have the text in bold format, like this: "4 - Text four"

Any ideas?

@MD why don't you do it? – Paresh Mayani May 27 '15 at 08:53 — Paresh Mayani, May 27 '15 at 08:53

It looks like you're trying to use bold html tags, I haven't seen <>start of bold directive<> before. If you can/want to use <b></b> tags then you can use Android's Html.fromHtml method:

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>This will be bold.</b> This will not"));
