Google play resource override string value

I have app that supports few languages. When I use one of supported languages everything works pretty well, but when I use default language (phone on unsupported language(hebrew)) one of my strings overrides by string from play services package. As the result this specific string translates to unsupported language.(Hebrew) Resource path looks usual.

Why it can happens?
Thanks in advice

Android custom fonts (nunito) not set properly in TextView

I am using custom fonts in my android TextView.
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
"nunitomedium.ttf");
txt2= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt2);
txt2.setTypeface(tf);
But padding between lines are not properly show.
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="#dimen/_10sdp"
android:layout_marginRight="#dimen/_10sdp"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/_15sdp"
android:text="You can send emergency blast to friends and family whenever you feel uncomfortable. Once activated, you will be able to send an emergency blast to your safety network within seconds with the pressing of one button."
android:textColor="#color/colorBlack"
android:textSize="#dimen/_15sdp" />
Here is my output :
I also tried with following code :
android:includeFontPadding="false"
but still same issue. Not sure but I also tried to use justifyTextView from Here but same issue. Does anybody faced same issue before?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT :
If i use android:lineSpacingExtra 1st line have more space then other lines. Here is my code and output.
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="#dimen/_10sdp"
android:layout_marginRight="#dimen/_10sdp"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/_15sdp"
android:lineSpacingExtra="#dimen/_5sdp" <<<<<<<
android:text="You can send emergency blast to friends and family whenever you feel uncomfortable. Once activated, you will be able to send an emergency blast to your safety network within seconds with the pressing of one button."
android:textColor="#color/colorBlack"
android:textSize="#dimen/_15sdp" />

Late to the party on this - we had exactly the same issue, was fixed completely by replacing the .ttf font file with the latest from Google Fonts - there's a bad early version of this font doing the rounds. Don't forget to remove any android:lineSpacingMultiplier fudges you've put in place int he meanwhile.

Add linespacingMultiplier in your XML
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textview_font"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="#dimen/_10sdp"
android:layout_marginRight="#dimen/_10sdp"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/_15sdp"
android:text="You can send emergency blast to friends and family whenever you feel uncomfortable. Once activated, you will be able to send an emergency blast to your safety network within seconds with the pressing of one button."
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:lineSpacingMultiplier="3"
android:textSize="#dimen/_15sdp" />
Or
Add these line in your code:-
mTextViewFont=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview_font);
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
"nunitomedium.ttf");
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
mTextViewFont.setLineSpacing((float) 5.5,(float) 1.2);
}
mTextViewFont.setTypeface(tf);

There was issue in the font file that is because of the site from where you downloaded it. I download the file from
dafontfree.net/download-nunito-f92263.htm
and then replace your file from asset folder.
and this is the output of it.

Android TextView ellipsize error with Html Text

I have some problem with ellipsize in TextView.
Here is html string:
final String str = "His followed carriage proposal entrance <br/>directly had elegance. Greater for cottage gay parties natural. Remaining he furniture on he discourse suspected perpetual. <br/>Power dried her taken place day ought the. Four and our ham west miss."
I create 2 textview(tv_test_html, tv_test_normal).
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_test_html"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxLines="3"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:text="Hello"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:id="#+id/tv_test_normal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxLines="3"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:text="Hello"
/>
In code I set:
final TextView tvTestHtml = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_test_html);
final TextView tvTestNormal = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_test_normal);
tvTestHtml.setText(Html.fromHtml(str));
tvTestNormal.setText(str);
When I run application:
You can see "..." is error when I use Html.fromHtml(...);
So how do I fix it ?
Thanks in advance !
[I just update image]

replace string with it : His followed carriage proposal entrance <br>directly had elegance. Greater for cottage gay parties natural. Remaining he furniture on he discourse suspected perpetual. <br>Power dried her taken place day ought the. Four and our ham west miss.

Android ellipsize does not work properly

I'm building a new InfoWindow (google maps api v2) and I'm trying to get my layout to be perfect.
A part of that layout is this:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtInfoWindowName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#ff000000"
android:textSize="14dp"
android:textStyle="bold"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtInfoWindowObstacles"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLength="32"
android:lines="1"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#ff7f7f7f"
android:textSize="14dp"/>
Now, the problem is with the android:ellipsize="end".
It should draw the three dots at the end but it doesn't do that.
Now I'm getting something like this:
TextTextTextTextTe
Instead of this:
TextTextTextTextTe...
I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact that I'm using layout_width="wrap_content" . But I need that because I'm using a LinearLayout

I tried your code and they work fine, except the second TextView which has the attribute android:maxLength="32", which in this case the text cannot be ellipsized because of 32 characters limit. But if you remove it, it works as expected.

There is another option - you can format your string from code like this:
private static final int STR_MAX_CHAR_COUNT = 32;
private String formatString(String stringToFormat) {
if(stringToFormat.length() > STR_MAX_CHAR_COUNT){
stringToFormat = stringToFormat.substring(0, STR_MAX_CHAR_COUNT - 1) + "...";
}
return stringToFormat;
}
And then just set string like this:
String newText = "some long-long text";
mTextView.setText(formatString(newText))

Android: html in strings.xml

I would like display for example this html code:
<body>
<p><b>Hello World</b></p>
<p>This is a test of the URL Example</p>
<p><b>This text is bold</b></p>
<p><em>This text is emphasized</em></p>
<p><code>This is computer output</code></p>
<p>This is<sub> subscript</sub> and <sup>superscript</sup></p>
</body>
I want to display it on a Dialog by declaring html in resources strings.xml. How can I do it?

The best way to add html source code in strings.xml is to use <![CDATA[html source code]]>. Here is an example:
<string name="html"><![CDATA[<p>Text</p>]]></string>
Then you can display this html in TextView using:
myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.html)));
If you have links in your html and you want them to be clickable, use this method:
myTextView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

Here's most of the examples. I don't think the pre tag is supported.
This is the strings.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="app_name">Formatting</string>
<string name="link"><b>Hello World</b> This is a test of the URL <a href="http://www.example.com/">Example</a></string>
<string name="bold"><b>This text is bold</b></string>
<string name="emphasis"><em>This text is emphasized</em></string>
<string name="sup">This is <sub>subscript</sub> and <sup>superscript</sup></string>
</resources>
Here's the layout. Note for the link to actually be clickable, there's a bit of extra work needed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/test1"
android:linksClickable="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="12dp"
android:text=""
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/test2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="12dp"
android:text=""
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/test3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="12dp"
android:text=""
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/test4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="12dp"
android:text=""
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Finally, the code:
TextView test1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.test1);
Spanned spanned = Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.link));
test1.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
test1.setText(spanned);
TextView test2 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.test2);
test2.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.bold)));
TextView test3 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.test3);
test3.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.emphasis)));
TextView test4 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.test4);
test4.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.sup)));

String.xml can contains HTML entities, like so:
<resources>
<string name="hello_world"><span></string>
</resources>
In your code: getResources().getString(R.string.hello_world); will evaluate to "<span>". You can use this HTML formatted text like this:
TextView helloWorld = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.hello_world);
helloWorld.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.hello_world)));

All the styling supported by the XML resources system is explained in the Android documentation.
String Resources: Formatting and Styling
Anything included there can be used and set directly on TextView. If you need to use further HTML markup, you will need to place raw HTML (with escaped characters for <, > and such) into the resource and load the entire thing in a WebView.

This Worked for me :
