How often do you embed HTML snippets into your applications?

Answer from AI

Practically never directly. HTML is most often used for:

  • Displaying formatted text in TextView (via Html.fromHtml).
  • Loading web pages in WebView.
  • Displaying content received from the server in HTML format.

The internal UI construction of Android applications is based on View and Jetpack Compose, not HTML. Redraw occurs differently. Native components provide a better experience in terms of performance and user interaction.

// Example of using Html.fromHtml for formatted text
String htmlText = "<b>Bold text</b> and <i>italic text</i>";
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(htmlText, Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT));
