Solution 1 - Android

In the strings.xml, you can simply escape special characters (eg double quotes) with a backslash :

"message \"quote string 1\" and \"quote string 2\" end message"

But in views xml (eg layout.xml), you have to use HTML character entities (like &quot;) :

"message &quot;quote string 1&quot; and &quot;quote string 2&quot; end message"

Use &quot; symbol to solve this hardcode problem :)

android:text="message &quot;quote string 1&quot;"

Solution 3 - Android

use escape characters. To display double quote use \"

Your code will be

android:text="message \"quote string 1\" and "quote string 2\" end message"

Solution 4 - Android

Please try

<TextView 
style="@style/TextStyle" 
android:text='message \"quote string 1\" and \"quote string 2\" end message' 
android:id="@+id/lblAboutPara3" 
android:autoLink="web"/>

Solution 5 - Android

You can use Unicode in any xml file

android:text="message \u0022quote string 1\u0022 and \u0022quote string 2\u0022 end message"

http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0022/index.htm there scroll down to C/C++/Java source code

Solution 6 - Android

TextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("&ldquo; " + "YOUR TEXT" + " &rdquo;"));

Solution 7 - Android

If you have a double-quote in your string, you must escape it ("). Surrounding the string with single-quotes does not work.

In strings.xml

<string name="good_example">This is a \"good string\".</string>

Solution 8 - Android

<TextView 
style="@style/TextStyle" 
android:text='message "quote string 1" and "quote string 2" end message' 
android:id="@+id/lblAboutPara3" 
android:autoLink="web"/>

Solution 9 - Android

Use single quotes to wrap the message and you can use as many double-quotes as you want inside the string.

android:text='message "quote string 1" and "quote string 2" end message'
