textview - How to add bulleted list to android application?



I have googled my question but there is not working answer provided. How do add a bulleted list to my textview.


Answer




Tough to do as ul/li/ol are not supported. Fortunately you can use this as syntactic sugar:



• foo
• bar
• baz


is the html entity for a list bullet
more choices are here http://www.elizabethcastro.com/html/extras/entities.html




more about which tags are supported provided by Mark Murphy (@CommonsWare)

Load that up with Html.fromHtml



((TextView)findViewById(R.id.my_text_view)).setText(Html.fromHtml(myHtmlString));
