Answer 1

There are two ways. Either go for a webview which can encode HTML tags automatically or if you want to use Textview you can use Html.fromHtml() method available on Android....Then set the Text to your Textview. Something like this

Textview.setText(Html.fromHtml(source));

or Even like this

Spanned t=Html.fromHtml("HTML String that needs to be displayed");
yourtextView.setText(t);
