if you want to display percentage in xml file then you have to use strings.xml file for that like below:

<string name="percent_sign">80&#x0025;</string>

use this string in your layout file for display percentage:

android:text="@string/percent_sign" />

or

android:text="80&#x0025;" />

instead of

android:text="80" />

If you want to display percentage symbol in TextView you just need add "%" symbol in your XML layout:

 android:text="80%"

or in your java : 

TextView.setText("80%");
