I need two navigation buttons with their texts are < and >. However, the compiler doesn't allow me use those symbols, even if I use \< and \>.
Is there anyway to put these symbol into the XML design file?
They are used to set the position of child Views within the UI we are building. We can nest the layouts, and therefore we can create arbitrarily complex UIs using a combination of layouts. There is a number of layout classes in the Android SDK.
The layout file is an XML file and has certain restrictions on which characters may be used. However, you can use XML escape sequences to display characters which have special meaning to XML. In this case, replace the "Bakeries & Dessert" with the string "Bakeries & Dessert" and you should get the behaviour that you require.
Android Studio includes common layout variants that you can use in your project. To use a suggested layout variant, do the following: Open your original layout file, click the Design icon in the top-right corner of the window. Click Orientation for Preview () in the toolbar.
There is a number of layout classes in the Android SDK. They can be used, modified or can create your own to make the UI for your Views, Fragments and Activities. You can display your contents effectively by using the right combination of layouts. The most commonly used layout classes that are found in Android SDK are:
Use < for <
Use > for >
Use & for &.
etc.
Use < for <
Use > for >
Use & for &
use " for "
for complete List of symbol
use &# decimal code of the symbol ; as above
