How can I define underlined text in an Android layout xml
file?
It can be achieved if you are using a string resource xml file, which supports HTML tags like <b></b>
, <i></i>
and <u></u>
.
<resources>
<string name="your_string_here">This is an <u>underline</u>.</string>
</resources>
If you want to underline something from code use:
TextView textView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textview);
SpannableString content = new SpannableString("Content");
content.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), 0, content.length(), 0);
textView.setText(content);
