Answer 1

In case of <b> 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)));

Answer 2

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

You can have some information on these two links :

• http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_strong.asp
• What's the difference between <b> and <strong>, <i> and <em>?

Try to use <b> instead of <strong> if you want a bold text.
