html - Show <ul> <li> in android textview

Question

I have String with ul and li in it. And I am trying to show them in HTML formatting in textview.
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(myHtmlText));
But textview shows the plain text. How can I have the ul and li tags formatted in textview?

Answer 1

You can use Html.TagHandler.

In your case it will be like this:

public class UlTagHandler implements Html.TagHandler{
    @Override
    public void handleTag(boolean opening, String tag, Editable output,
                          XMLReader xmlReader) {
            if(tag.equals("ul") && !opening) output.append("
");
            if(tag.equals("li") && opening) output.append("
?");
    }
}

and

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(myHtmlText, null, new UlTagHandler()));
