I have some XML files in res/xml and I'm trying to escape characters as you would normally do in XML. I tried nearly every way possible:

<tag>Okay, I'll do it</tag>
<tag>Okay, I\'ll do it</tag>
<tag>Okay, I'll do it</tag>
<tag>Okay, I'll do it</tag>
<tag>Okay, I'll do it</tag>

None of them work, when I parse the file with XmlPullParser, I always get only part of the text: "Okay I", split where the apostrophe was. I am using "Context.getResources().getXml(R.xml.my_xml)" to get the parser and "parser.getText()" to get the text between tags.

I also tried "parser.setFeature(Xml.FEATURE_RELAXED, true)", as suggested here:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/26822654/5288316), without success.

After more testing, it looks like this issue only happens with the apostrophe and no other escaped characters like "&". I tried on two devices with the same result.

Device 1: Asus ZE551KL, API 23, build 21.40.1220.2181
Device 2: Nexus 7, API 23, build MOB30X

Yep, that's exactly my problem at the moment. In our app everything is red, grey and
white. Orange is not a good combination.

Did you find a solution to customize the option menu ?
