Android String Resource Superscript

Question

I have a string resource file, which I want to pull strings from and I want one of the strings to have some superscript in it.

From http://developer.android.com/gui

Answer 1

<string name="sup_string"> a<sup><small>n</small></sup> b </string>

aⁿ b

this worked for me.

Answer 2

You can use X\u00B2 to create X^2 in xml directly

Answer 3

I am using this trick: In string resource:

<string name="text1">x!sup@2!/sup@</string>

Then in activity:

text1.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.text1).replace("!", "<").replace("@", ">")));

this trick is working.

Answer 4

You can escape like this:

<string name="acceleration"><![CDATA[%1$f m.s<sup><small>-2</small></sup>]]></string>
