Apps Subscripts in textview

[gstein1231]

Can anyone provide some information on how to create subscripted text in a textview in my xml layout?

For example if I wanted to display out H2O and subscript the 2.

From java code you can do like this

textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView01);
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("H<sub>2</sub>O"));

if you want to do this from xml resource add this line in string.xml

<string name="textViewl">H<sub>2</sub>O</string>

do not forget to add some bottom padding

android:paddingBottom="5dip"

If I add that <sub> to the string resource, it doesn't get recognized. I think it only sees <b>, <i>,<u> as style commands, unless I am doing something wrong.

I have tested again.Both ways are working fine at least on emulator.
can you provide some more details like which string your are using , what output you are getting.
