Html List tag not working in android TextView. This is my string content:
String str="A dressy take on classic gingham in a soft, textured weave of stripes that resembles twill. Take a closer look at this one.<ul><li>Trim, tailored fit for a bespoke feel</li><li>Medium spread collar, one-button mitered barrel cuffs</li><li>Applied placket with genuine mother-of-pearl buttons</li><li>;Split back yoke, rear side pleats</li><li>Made in the U.S.A. of 100% imported cotton.</li></ul>";
I loaded it in a text view like this:
textview.setText(Html.fromHtml(str));
The output looks like a paragraph. What can I do? Is there any solution for it?
Edit:
webview.loadData(str,"text/html","utf-8");
Here is the simple solution to show HTML in TextView in android. Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio,go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project. Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main. xml.
You can add HTML in Android Studio by creating an assets folder and inserting your HTML here.
</UL> tag is used to end an unordered list.
As you can see in the Html
class source code, Html.fromHtml(String)
does not support all HTML tags. In this very case, <ul>
and <li>
are not supported.
From the source code I have built a list of allowed HTML tags:
br
p
div
em
b
strong
cite
dfn
i
big
small
font
blockquote
tt
monospace
a
u
sup
sub
So you better use WebView
and its loadDataWithBaseURL
method. Try something like this:
String str="<html><body>A dressy take on classic gingham in a soft, textured weave of stripes that resembles twill. Take a closer look at this one.<ul><li>Trim, tailored fit for a bespoke feel</li><li>Medium spread collar, one-button mitered barrel cuffs</li><li>Applied placket with genuine mother-of-pearl buttons</li><li>;Split back yoke, rear side pleats</li><li>Made in the U.S.A. of 100% imported cotton.</li></ul></body></html>"; webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, str, "text/html", "utf-8", null);
