Android and formatting text with html

Question

This may be an elementary question for some but I've been looking at this for the past couple of hours. In the string below, the newlines don't appear and the font-size doesn't change. The newline seems like it should work with no problem but it's not:

String tempStr = "<font color='blue'>" + mUserName + " </font>" + "<font color='black'>" + " \"" + some.toString() + "\" " + "</font>" + "<font size=6>" + timespan + "</font>";

result.setText(Html.fromHtml(tempStr) + "\n\n\n");

Answer 1

Newlines in HTML should be <br>, <p> or even <div > ? I would suggest using inline CSS styles instead. I have not tried that with fromHtml, but it should work?
