Show in textview html with inline styles

Question

I need to show html with inline styles in my app. There are a lot of text that must be in different views so I can't use Webview(I tried to use a lot of Webviews but the app becomes very slow ).As I know TextView can show html but it can`t show html with inline styles. So, what should I do? Is there any way to show it or to generate only html with simple tags from html with inline styles?

So I need to show html like this:

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 36pt; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">Article Title</span></p>

But TextView can`t understand style.

Answer 1

Android native TextView doesn't support all HTML tags and features. It only does support a few tags and properties. So, in your case, there's a couple of options which you may want to consider.

• Use WebView to show rich texts. However, WebViews are too heavy and slow.

• Use 3rd party libraries that improve native TextView and support more HTML tags. For example: HTML-TextView.
