Apps TextView HTML rendering

[sreymj]

How do you maintain HTML formatting with Html.fromHtml? The format is lost when displaying in a TextView.

Hi,

I am new to Android.. i have already tried this...so it may be useful for you.

We can render the HTML code in Android using
HTML.fromHtml("Any String with HTML tags");
----------------------------------------------

this.setContentView(R.layout.cartview);
TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.ListView);
text.setId(R.id.ScrollView01);
text.setText(Html.fromHtml("HTML String"));
--------------------------------------------
cartview.xml
----------------
<ScrollView
android:id="@+id/ScrollView01"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/ListView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</ScrollView>

----------------

In the Android we can get the HTML Layout with scroll View.
If you have any other ideas let me know.


Thanks

As it turns out, I was approaching this all wrong. The correct solution is to use the WebView.

WebView webview;
webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.WebView01);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.loadUrl("http://someurl.com");
