Android Display HTML in a ListView
Ok, so Jitendra Sharma was had the right idea for my scenario, but I needed to override the getView method. Or at least that is what worked for me. Then in the getView method I was able to set my text to render in html.
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(SearchByFood.this, R.layout.new_list_view, arr_sort)
{
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
View row;
if (null == convertView) {
row = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.new_list_view, null);
} else {
row = convertView;
}
TextView tv = (TextView) row.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
tv.setText(Html.fromHtml(getItem(position)));
//tv.setText(getItem(position));
return row;
}
};
lv1.setAdapter(adapter);
override getItem method of the Adapter and do the following:
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter= ArrayAdapter<String>(SearchByFood.this, R.layout.new_list_view, arr_sort){
public Object getItem(int position)
{
return Html.fromHtml(arr_sort.get(position));
}
};
If you are using a SimpleAdapter, here is the code that enables HTML on a TextView.
adapter.setViewBinder(new SimpleAdapter.ViewBinder() {
public boolean setViewValue(View view, Object data, String textRepresentation) {
if (data instanceof Spanned && view instanceof TextView) {
((TextView) view).setText((Spanned) data);
} else {
((TextView) view).setText(Html.fromHtml(String.valueOf(data)));
}
return true;
}
}
);
