I am parcing data from an XML file which has subscript and superscript characters in them which i got from the character map. Like so:
<value column="Back" null="false">H₂</value>
but when i display it on a textview in android it gives me this 'Hâ,,'
how can i fix this and display it properly in my app?
I found out how
In the XML file the code should be like this :
<value column="Back" null="false">H<sub>2</sub></value>
So that the parced string value is
"H<sub>2</sub>"
then in the java code :and for superscript use "sup" instead of "sub"
You can use
<small>
tag along with<sub>
or<sup>
tags to decrease the size of the text.For example:
<sup><small>your-string</small></sup>
If you want to still decrease the size of text,you add
<small>
tag once more like this<sup><small><small>your-string</small></small></sup>
I'm using android studio and it is working perfectly for me !
i found this method useful for me.
strings.xml
You can change it easier than that, just write in @strings or where you want
<sub>your-string-here</sub>
for subscript or<sup>your-string-here</sup>
. The subscripted letters(of your word) still have the same size as your text. You need to decrease it's size. For that, use , where number means the size of the text you want.
