u\2022 not displaying in textview that retrieves from json - android

I had found an answer that we can use bullets in textview by adding u\2022 with the text.
Ref : https://stackoverflow.com/a/3429643/4919237
When i added this code through XML it displays fine in TextView
and When i try to display bullet through json it doesnt display bullet ,instead it displays the text u\2022 itself.
my receiving Json format is
{"description":"\\u2022first one\\n\\u2022second one edited\\n"}
please help me to reslove my problem.


At First , You can check Html.fromHtml & remove one \ .
Html.formHtml method takes an Html.TagHandler and an Html.ImageGetter
as arguments as well as the text to parse.
YourTextViewObj.setText(Html.fromHtml("Your String"));
FYI
Currently android seems support the following HTML tags to be rendered on TextView.


You can set text using Html.fromHtml like
textview.setText(Html.fromHtml(your description));

Android Html.fromHtml function auto converts undesired text into hyperlinks

Android Html.fromHtml function auto converts undesired text into hyperlinks.
Here is my code:
String htmlContent= "corners of nail.It has to";
textViewContent.setTextHtml.fromHtml(htmlContent));
textViewContent.setText(comment.getContent());
In above code Html.fromHtml treats "nails.It" as a link and converts it into hyperlink.
Here is the result of converted string.
One of the solution which I could think is, put space after fullstop.
Is there any good solution?

You can try something like this.
textViewContent.setText( Html.fromHtml("YOUR DESIRED TEXT"));
textViewContent. setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
Hope it helps.

Provide space between dot and second statement
String htmlContent= "corners of nail. It has to";
textViewContent.setTextHtml.fromHtml(htmlContent));
textViewContent.setText(comment.getContent());

To remove HTML Tags

I would like to remove the tag in my android which is coming from an web response. And I dont want to use Html.fromHtml in my setText(), as I would not like the text to appear in the next line. Can anyone please suggest me an idea?

You can use replaceAll() function
ex:
html.replaceAll("&","");//remove ampersands

You can use trim on the String returned by Html.fromHtml for avoiding newline before and after the text.

How to set unicode in textview to show emoji in android?

I am getting some Unicode string(emoji icons) from server in json string format.
My problem is strange and I am trying for last two days to resolve this issue. When I parse json and store all the Unicode string in an ArrayList<String> and try to set the text on TextView by getting value from the same ArrayList then it shows Unicode characters as :
Ghcghchgc\ud83d\ude03\ud83d\ude03fyju\ud83d\ude0c6\u20e3
and when the same string I set on textview by passing static value as :
textview.settext("Ghcghchgc\ud83d\ude03\ud83d\ude03fyju\ud83d\ude0c6\u20e3")
then the textview is showing perfect emojis.
I am stuck at this point. Can anybody please help me to resolve this issue or tell me if I am doing something wrong.

This sounds like you want to unescape your string that you've got from JSON. If you don't mind adding a library, Apache Commons has a String.unescapeJava function which does what you need. If you don't want to add that library, see this answer.

This is what has worked for me ( Kotlin version ):
textView.text = String(Character.toChars(0x1F389))

TextView is not showing č character

I am working on an android app in which I am getting data in multiple languages everything is working fine but i am facing a small problem some characters are not visible in textview and edittext
The main problem with this č character.
I tried some stuffs like:
Html.fromHtml("č");
I also tried unicode character format but still not working.
Thanks!

Try using the HTML equivalent:
Html.fromHtml("&#269");

try below code:-
txt.setText(Html.fromHtml("&#268");//Capital C-hachek
txt.setText(Html.fromHtml("&#269");//Lowercase c-hachek

HTML in TextView

The response of a web service is the following :
<span style="color:#DDFFEE;">You have to pay you bil before <b>12 june 2012</b> for your informations.</span></br></br> You have already a large time.
I want to display this in a TextView.
I can't just simply put the response below in a String and applicate
myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml(response));
It doesn't work because it can't be a String.
How can I do this dynamically please ?

You just need to put the String you get as a response, inside the fromHtml call, if it's not a String, maybe you just need to append .toString() to it, to get a String..
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<h2>This is HTML</h2>"));

You need to use Html.fromHtml() to use HTML in your XML Strings. Simply referencing a String with HTML in your layout XML will not work.
myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<h2>Title</h2><br><p>Description here</p>"));
