My code outline is not displaying properly

Question

I posted some answers for readers here: How to write a custom filter for ListView with ArrayAdapter

On my last post, I was trying to add xml. In the end I added it as an image, as it kept being interpreted, although I tried to add it as a code block. Any advice on adding xml inline please?

Also, I added a large code block (in a code fragment) and it got broken up. Some is displayed as text, some in a scrolling window (as it should be).

Would someone be able to check my post and advise please?

Answer 1

When there are blank spaces in the beginning of some lines pasted from some IDE it might mess things up - four spaces means "parse this line as code block".

Usually selecting the whole block and clicking the code icon in the editor or pressing CTRL+K will fix this, I tried with your last block and the preview show it should work - give this a try and see for yourself.

Same goes for XML - are you sure you're using the correct icon? It's looks like this: {}

Answer 2

Here's a fragment of XML like yours that doesn't get munged:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="xxx"
    android:foo="yyy"
    android:bar="zzz"
    <TextView blah="asdf" />    
</LinearLayout>

I just pasted this in, selected the code, then hit the {} icon. Look at the source of this answer to see the text formatting/indentation.
