HTML formatting for TextView

Question

I'm a little confused about the “rules” when a TextView element displays text in a formatted form or not.

Type string

"There are <i>different ways</i> of coding.\n";

displays without any formatting (including HTML codes) when I code

tvMyTextView.setText("There are <i>different ways</i> of coding.\n");

but when I define the same line in strings.xml and then load

tvMyTextView.setText(R.strings.TestString);

displayed underlined.

I feel even more embarrassed when I try to embed URLs in a TextView, like here:

"Click <a href="http://www.poon-world.com">here</a> to switch on the red light.\n";
