import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;

  EditText name;
  TextView result;
  
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
    super.onCreate(icicle);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    
    name=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.name);
    result=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.result);
    
    Button btn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.format);
    
    btn.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {
      public void onClick(View v) {
        applyFormat();
      }
    });
  }  
  private void applyFormat() {
    String format=getString(R.string.funky_format);
    String simpleResult=String.format(format,TextUtils.htmlEncode(name.getText().toString()));
    result.setText(Html.fromHtml(simpleResult));
  }
}

Note

We use the TextUtils.htmlEncode method to do the html encoding.
