How to have HTML New Line Feature in Android Text View?

Question

I am using webservice in my android application. In my webservice result I get a HTML formatted String as result.

Assume this is my web service result:

Answer 1

String sBooks = "Books on Chennai:\n ....";

Replace: \n with <br>:

sBooks = sBooks.replace("\n", "<br>");

Example using a TextView:

myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml(sBooks));

Answer 2

The best option is instead of TextView use a WebView and

final String mimeType = "text/html";
    final String encoding = "UTF-8";
    webView.loadDataWithBaseURL("", contentToShowString, mimeType,
            encoding, "");

Answer 3

Just replace \n with <br/> tag and then pass the whole string to Html.fromHtml(String). By this it will be displayed in proper format.

Answer 4

You should replace this \n with <br>. For more android HTML tags support go to Android Support HTML Tags or daniel-codes.blogspot.in

Answer 5

Use this:

b.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>" + your string+ "</b>" + "<br/>" + cursor.getString(1)));

Answer 6

have you tried with \r\n ?`

If this not works then you can try with : \n with escape sequence : \\\n
I hope this will help you :)

Something like this

string = string.replace("\\\n", System.getProperty("line.separator"));
