I got the Unicode of heart and diamond characters from this link and I am struggling to make them appear red in android TextView. Suprisingly same code changes color for hollow heart and diamond but not for solid ones. mycodes are below:
<TextView
android:textColor="@android:color/holo_red_dark"
android:id="@+id/testText1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView
android:textColor="@android:color/holo_red_dark"
android:id="@+id/testText2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView
android:textColor="@android:color/holo_red_dark"
android:id="@+id/testText3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView
android:textColor="@android:color/holo_red_dark"
android:id="@+id/testText4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
// inside activity
TextView tv1=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.testText1);
TextView tv2=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.testText2);
TextView tv3=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.testText3);
TextView tv4=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.testText4);
// tv.setText(Html.fromHtml("\u2665"));
tv1.setTextColor(Color.RED);
tv1.setText(Html.fromHtml("<font color='red'>\u2665</font>"));
tv2.setTextColor(Color.RED);
tv2.setText(Html.fromHtml("<font color='red'>\u2666</font>"));
tv3.setTextColor(Color.RED);
tv3.setText(Html.fromHtml("<font color='red'>\u2661</font>"));
tv4.setTextColor(Color.RED);
tv4.setText(Html.fromHtml("<font color='red'>\u2662</font>"));
