Using HTML format in TextView

In Android, HTML formatting is possible by using Html.fromHtml() in TextView.

TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text);
tv.setText(Html.fromHtml("Text with <br><font color=\'#ff0000\'>Color</font> and <b>Bold</b>"));

To use a string from a resource, the string have to be formatted this way:

[strings.xml]

<string name="html_string">Text with &lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=\'#898f97\'&gt;Color&lt;/font&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Bold&lt;/b&gt;</string>

[TestActivity.java]

TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text);
tv.setText(Html.fromHtml(getResources().getString(R.string.html_string)));

DB error while creating CookieSyncManager

If the app has services, or other processes, then you can see this kind of error when using CookieSyncManager.

This happens because the DB created inside the CookieSyncManager is accessible from only one process.
I couldn’t find the way to use the CookieSyncManager from more than one process.

Also, I tried to CookieSyncManager.createInstance() from one process and CookieSyncManager.getInstance() from another, but it didn’t work.

I should have to solve this problem by only using the CookieSyncManager from one process.
Also keep in mind that CookieManager requires CookieSyncManager to work.
