Hello. I'm trying to change the text style of some strings I keep in strings.xml. I have a textView in a layout xml file that will contain the strings. The strings themselves are kept in strings.xml and are accessed and added to the textView programmatically (after obtaining a handle to the textView rather than in the xml file). In the layout xml file, I also set the android:textStyle setting to "bold|italic". The program compiles and runs correctly and I can indeed see the strings in the textView. The italic style works fine. However, the bold style simply doesn't work! I have also tried using only "bold" instead of "bold|italic" but to no avail. Also, I tried using <b></b> labels in strings.xml around the strings, but it too doesn't seem to have any effect.
The strings themselves are all in Hebrew. I discovered that if I change the text to English, both bold and italic work fine! So it has something to do with Hebrew in Android. But why? And if this problem exists in Hebrew, it probably also exist in other languages as well. For your note, Hebrew is a right-to-left language. Can anyone please help me solve the problem? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
