How can you print a string with a subscript or superscript? Can you do this without an external library? I want this to display in a TextView in Android.

    The HTML.fromHTML(String) was deprecated as of API 24. They say to use this one instead, which supports flags as a parameter. So to go off of the accepted answer:

    TextView textView = ((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text));
    textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("X<sup>2</sup>", Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY));
    

    And if you want code that considers pre-24 API's as well:

    TextView textView = ((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text));
    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
      textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("X<sup>2</sup>", Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY));
    } else {
        textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("X<sup>2</sup>"));    
    }

    I found this article on how to use a Spannable or in a string resource file: <sup> or <sub> for superscript and subscript, respectively.

    To all people asking, if you want to make it smaller besides of making super or subscript, you just need to add tag as well. EX:

    "X <sup><small> 2 </small></sup>"

    The Accepted answer is deprecated now. So please go through this piece of code. I got this from some website. I forgot the name but anyway thanks for this good piece of working code.

         SpannableString styledString
                = new SpannableString("Large\n\n"     // index 0 - 5
                + "Bold\n\n"          // index 7 - 11
                + "Underlined\n\n"    // index 13 - 23
                + "Italic\n\n"        // index 25 - 31
                + "Strikethrough\n\n" // index 33 - 46
                + "Colored\n\n"       // index 48 - 55
                + "Highlighted\n\n"   // index 57 - 68
                + "K Superscript\n\n" // "Superscript" index 72 - 83 
                + "K Subscript\n\n"   // "Subscript" index 87 - 96
                + "Url\n\n"           //  index 98 - 101
                + "Clickable\n\n");   // index 103 - 112
    
        // make the text twice as large
        styledString.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(2f), 0, 5, 0);
    
        // make text bold
        styledString.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD), 7, 11, 0);
    
        // underline text
        styledString.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), 13, 23, 0);
    
        // make text italic
        styledString.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.ITALIC), 25, 31, 0);
    
        styledString.setSpan(new StrikethroughSpan(), 33, 46, 0);
    
        // change text color
        styledString.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.GREEN), 48, 55, 0);
    
        // highlight text
        styledString.setSpan(new BackgroundColorSpan(Color.CYAN), 57, 68, 0);
    
        // superscript
        styledString.setSpan(new SuperscriptSpan(), 72, 83, 0);
        // make the superscript text smaller
        styledString.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(0.5f), 72, 83, 0);
    
        // subscript
        styledString.setSpan(new SubscriptSpan(), 87, 96, 0);
        // make the subscript text smaller
        styledString.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(0.5f), 87, 96, 0);
    
        // url
        styledString.setSpan(new URLSpan("http://www.google.com"), 98, 101, 0);
    
        // clickable text
        ClickableSpan clickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {
    
            @Override
            public void onClick(View widget) {
                // We display a Toast. You could do anything you want here.
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    
            }
        };
    
        styledString.setSpan(clickableSpan, 103, 112, 0);
    
    
        // Give the styled string to a TextView
        spantext = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.spantext);
    
    
        // this step is mandated for the url and clickable styles.
        spantext.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
    
        // make it neat
        spantext.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
        spantext.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
    
        spantext.setText(styledString);
    

    Note : Always put android:textAllCaps="false" of your spantext.

    In the code just put this "\u00B2" Like this:

    textView.setText("X\u00B2");

    If you want to set the superscript from string.xml file try this:

    string resource:

    <string name="test_string">X&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;</string>
    

    if you want the superscript to be smaller:

    <string name="test_string">X&lt;sup&gt;&lt;small&gt;3&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;</string>
    

    Code:

    textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("Anything you want to put here"+getString(R.string.test_string)));
