How to remove from TextView

Question

I need to substitute &nbps in TextView. I can simply use String.replace(), but there might be better solution?

`String.replace()` is the only way of getting rid of these issues :) — Ali Imran, Dec 12 '12 at 09:22
Html.fromHtml(String) works perfect for me, please answer so I can accept. — Eugene, Dec 12 '12 at 09:52
Unless you have other HTML that you are trying to interpret, using `fromHtml()` to replace ` ` with a space is like swatting a fly with a Buick. `replaceAll()` should be cheaper. — CommonsWare, Dec 12 '12 at 12:17

try as using Pattern.compile:

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("&nbps");
String tempstr = "I love &nbps  &nbps.";

Matcher matcher = p.matcher(tempstr);
String tmp = matcher.replaceAll("Android");

you can see this post about performance of String.replace and matcher.replace

So what a difference in performance wise with `String.replace()` ? – Ali Imran Dec 12 '12 at 09:25
@AliImran : i don't now about performance of this piece of code but i'm sure this will work in all cases – ρяσѕρєя K Dec 12 '12 at 09:28
an this is another way for replacing substring in current string – ρяσѕρєя K Dec 12 '12 at 09:29
I know this before but i never give it preference over simple `String.replace()` method :) – Ali Imran Dec 12 '12 at 09:31
@AliImran : in some cases String.replace() not worked then you have this only option . and you can see my edit answer – ρяσѕρєя K Dec 12 '12 at 09:33

Ya you are right, because some times `String.replace()` not work properly. – Ali Imran Dec 12 '12 at 09:36

Try to use this function:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
            mDescription.setText(Html.fromHtml("Your Text", Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY));
        } else {
            mDescription.setText(Html.fromHtml("Your Text"));
        }
