Can I underline text in an Android layout?
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”><![CDATA[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);
