I need to decode HTML entities, e.g. from ö to ö, and & to &.
URLEncoder.decode(str)
does not do the job (convert from % notat
Html.fromHtml(String html) is deprecated after API v24 so this is the correct way to do it
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 24)
{
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(htmlString , Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY)));
}
else
{
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(htmlString));
}
Simply you can do that using this code
Html.fromHtml(String).toString();
Hope this will help you
you can use WebView to represent any html text easily by following below steps.
first convert your data in html format as :
String res=null;
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
res=Html.fromHtml(product.getDescription(),Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT).toString();
}
else{
res=Html.fromHtml(product.getDescription()).toString();
}
Then load your data in WebView as:
myWebView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, res, "text/html", "utf-8", null);
You can remove special char from string by calling
responsestring.replace(“special char here”, “”);
you can convert response into a string from htmlstring like that – Html.fromHtml( response string here ) But this method is depreciated on API 24 so you need to do it in a correct way-
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 24)
{
post_description.setText(Html.fromHtml( response here , Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY));
}
else
{
post_description.setText(Html.fromHtml( response here ));
}
The Html class is supposed to do that, however it is said that everything is not supported. It always worked for me but I never had ö so I can't tell for this one.
Try Html.fromHtml(yourStr)
to get the decoded string.
