Yes, but Html.fromHtml() interprets the html and takes action accordingly (showing images and such) and I just want to strip any visual formatting and get a readable text version.
I tried Html.fromHtml(htmlSrc).toString(); and that almost does the trick, but it inserts some ugly character on every image tag. Anyway, I've made a simple regex to clean it up that hopefully will catch everything I want gone so I'll drop this for now. /Martin On Jun 12, 1:33 pm, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > On 06/12/2010 06:47 AM, Martin Wallgren wrote: > > > Hi > > > Are there any built in functionality that will strip out html tags > > from a String?
