Hi Lestroso,

Could you explain what is wrong with the htmlText conversion? If I know what's wrong, I migh think of an alternative way.

Kind regards,

Hi Lestroso,
I took a look at the stack you sent to quality and while I don't have a direct answer for you on how to make your stack work, I have built a stack that does what you are trying to do (I think) but using a different web source.

One thing I'm concerned about is your original source "http://www.investing.com/technical/technical-summary" takes forever to download and set the HTMLText, even on a desktop. The Android may just "give up".

I just picked "http://www.fxstreet.com/rates-charts/currency-rates/" because of it's simple layout, so if you must use investing.com then my stack wont be of use to you. But it does use "set the HTMLText" to format a field.

Sorry it's in LC 5.5 but I couldn't test it in 4.6

Your app works thery fine.....also in android!!!!

But why "set htmlText works fine depending the website you are using????" ...Don't seem a bug this??? Bho....Perhaps i'm wrong....

Now i will try to do other modify to your stack....

thanks a lot again,

Hi Lestroso,

But why "set htmlText works fine depending the website you are using????"

I don't believe it has actually to do with the website, except that the one you chose was hard/difficult/difficile to process (flash intro etc).

If you are concerned just try simplifying your code you will see HTMLText does work on Android.
