How to underline text in Android Studio? -

looked everywhere, couldnt find solution this. setting bold or italic easy, why setting underline not easy?

here's bit of relevant code:

   <linearlayout         android:orientation="horizontal"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"         android:id="@+id/forgotpasswordholder"         android:layout_margintop="10dp">          <textview             android:layout_width="fill_parent"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:text="forgot password?"             android:id="@+id/labforgotpassword"             android:textcolor="#6bb08c"             android:layout_weight="1"             android:textstyle="bold|italic"             android:layout_gravity="left"             android:paddingleft="20dp"             android:textisselectable="true"             android:singleline="false" />          <textview             android:layout_width="fill_parent"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:text="not member?"             android:id="@+id/signup"             android:textcolor="#6bb08c"             android:layout_weight="1"             android:textstyle="bold|italic"             android:singleline="false"             android:layout_gravity="right"             android:gravity="right"             android:paddingright="20dp"             android:textisselectable="true" />     </linearlayout> 

i have 2 "forgot password? , "not member?" buttons, , i'd love if underline text(s).

thanks in advance!

use string resource <u> tags, this

android:text="@string/forgotpassword" 

then in strings.xml, create string

<string name="forgotpassword"><u>forgot password?</u></string>
