I get this error message:

whenever I use these strings (below) in values->strings in Android Studio. Please take a look at them what should I add or remove;

<!--Record Your Conversations-->
    <string name="Record_Your_Conversations">
        <font size="17">Record Your Conversations</font>\n
        <font size="13">Is there a subject that you\'re exceptional knowledgeable about? Or even a subject that you\'re really interested in diving into a little deeper? Are you a good listener?…</font>
    </string>


<!--Write a Short Book-->
    <string name="Write_a_Short_Book">
        <font size="17">Write a Short Book</font>\n
        <font size="13">Writing a book is not easy, but we\'ll assist you, and this is especially good avenue to take if you're not interested in audio, video, or physical products…</font>
    </string>

The strings.xml resource file does not handle fonts, it should contain only strings and nothing more. Therefore you should define them for example as next:

<string name="record_conversation_title">Record Your Conversations</string>  
<string name="record_conversation_message">"Is there a subject that you're exceptional knowledgeable about? Or even a subject that you're really interested in diving into a little deeper? Are you a good listener?…"</string>

Then if the text is concatenated you can manage the font sizes either by composing them in code with a Spannable by defining multiple font sizes, or assigning each text to a different TextView each with your required font TextSize

Tip: in strings.xml, when a text contains single quote characters ( ' ), if you wrap the full text between double quotes then there is no necessity to scape each single quote.

CodePudding user response：

You cannot use html like that in the strings.xml. You should either use CDATA[] like below:

<string name="string_html"><![CDATA[<b>Html text</b>]]></string> 

or otherwise like below example:

<string name="string_html">&lt;b&gt;Html text&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=\"#fe2e68\"&gt;text example&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</string>
