How to display double quotes (") Character in TextView?

Question

I am trying to display a few words in double quotes, in a textual representation in an xml file. But that does not work. Help me.

<TextView style="@style/TextStyle" android:text="message "quote string 1" and "quote string 2" end message" android:id="@+id/lblAboutPara3" android:autoLink="web"/> 

Does anyone know a solution for this .............

Answer 1

In strings.xml you can simply escape special characters (e.g. double quotes) with a backslash:

 "message \"quote string 1\" and \"quote string 2\" end message" 

But in xml views (e.g. layout.xml ) you need to use HTML character characters (e.g. " ):

 "message "quote string 1" and "quote string 2" end message"

Use the " to solve this problem with hard code :)

Answer 7

 TextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("“ " + "YOUR TEXT" + " ”")); 

Answer 8

If you have a double quote in your string, you should escape it (\ ") . Surrounding the string with single quotes does not work.

In the strings.xml file

 <string name="good_example">This is a \"good string\".</string>
