Android: HTML encoder

I have html text that I want to show in webview.

As specification, data must be URI-escaped. So I tried to use URLEncoder.encode() function, but that will not help me, as it converts blank space with plus sign.

So is there any encoding function available?

try to use either Html.fromhtml(string) or StringEscapeutil utility(download this jar) after downloading it,lets try something like below

StringEscapeUtils strutil = new StringEscapeUtils(); title = strutil.escapeHtml(title);

...I think it may help you..

I know this is a few months old, but TextUtils.htmlEncode() is a great little method that does exactly just that.

As @Seb said, I created my own function that worked for me:

public String encodeHTML(String s)
{
    s = s.replaceAll("#", "%23");
    s = s.replaceAll("%", "%25");
    return s;
}

Any improvement in this approach will be appreciated.
