How to replace special character in a arrayadapter string?

Question

I am getting the title from an RSS feed and displaying it using an array adapter. How can I replace a special character with an empty space? Can anyone help on this?

ArrayAdapter<String> itemList = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.cricketlist, item);

@sravanthi you don't need to specify android in question title as this is handled by the tag — K_Anas

Assuming str is your String.

str = str.replace("&quot;", " ");

Try String.replaceAll(String regex, String replacement) and String.replace(char oldChar, char newChar) for relpacing chars from string

Try this:

 str = str.replaceAll("[^a-zA-Z 0-9]+"," ")

Also

public string deleteSpecialChar(string text)
        {
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            var lastWasInvalid = false;
            for(int i=0;i<text.length();i++)
            {
                if (Character.isLetterOrDigit(text.charAt(i)))
                {
                    sb.Append(c);
                    lastWasInvalid = false;
                }
                else
                {
                    if (!lastWasInvalid)
                        sb.Append(" ");
                    lastWasInvalid = true;
                }
            }

            return sb.ToString().Trim();

        }
