How to have “&” i.e and symbol in Android TextView

Question

I want to have some simple text in textView..

Like...(android & java)

means I exactly require \"and\" symbol in textView

If I\'m pro

Answer 1

Use this :

   &lt; for < 
   &gt; for > 
   &amp; for &

Example:

  <string name="lessthan"> &lt; teste &gt;</string>
  <string name="link"> Puzzles &amp; code </string>

Answer 2

The layout files are just xml and the & symbol is not allowed by itself.

You will need to use & instead of &

This will work fine

  <string name="contest_giveaways" formatted="false">Contests &amp; Giveaways</string>
