title: Escape characters displayed in TextView
body: <p>In an Android app I'm making, I construct a <code>TextView</code> programmatically and pass a <code>String</code> to <code>setText</code>. The String I'm passing is obtained from another source, and it contains escape characters. Here's an example String:</p>
  
  <pre><code>AxnZt_35\/435\/46\/34
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The <code>\/</code> should in fact be just <code>/</code>. But the <code>TextView</code> displays the whole thing exactly as in the above example.</p>
  
  <p>The code I'm using to construct the <code>TextView</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>TextView textView = new TextView(context);
  textView.setText(text);
  textView.setTextColor(color);
  textView.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD);
  textView.setTextSize(14);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So my question is, how can I <em>not</em> display the extra <code>\</code>? I just want the above example displayed as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>AxnZt_35/435/46/34
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>The String I provided above is just an example. There might be other characters in the String. For example, the character <code>/</code> or <code>\</code> by itself is perfectly valid. The problem is that <code>/</code> is displayed as <code>\/</code>.</p>
