TextView is not showing proper text from string resources.

I have below string resources in my android studio project.

<string name="not_registered">Haven&#39;t registered yet?</string>

I set the string into TextView with following code:-

android:text="@string/not_registered"

It show proper text in xml preview window as expected:-

Haven't registered yet?

But when i run the project then it doesn't show the text after special char " ' ". It only show

Haven

I am not able to understand why it is not showing full string.

As per Android Documentation. spacial character Single quote (')
cab be used any way of the following:

  • \'
  • Enclose the entire string in double quotes ("This'll work", for example)

In your case You can use as follows 

<string name="not_registered">Haven\'t registered yet?</string>
<string name="not_registered">"Haven't registered yet?"</string>

both way will work.

<string name="not_registered">Haven&apos;t registered yet?</string>
<string name="not_registered">Haven\'t registered yet?</string>

Use <string name="not_registered">Haven\'t registered yet?</string> instead of <string name="not_registered">Haven&#39;t registered yet?</string>

First, change into your string resource.

<string name="not_registered">Haven\'t registered yet?</string>

And set the string into TextView with following code:-

android:text="@string/not_registered"
