Escaping Angle Brackets in XML in Eclipse / Android

Question

If I want to to label some buttons with ">" and "<" symbols, what's the correct way to escape them out in the XML file? The presence of either ">" or "&" (as in "&gt") produces "invalid token" errors.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Either specify those characters like this:

< = &lt;
> = &gt;

Or use a CDATA section and put those characters inside:

<![CDATA[<]]>
<![CDATA[>]]>
