Display HTML in TextView?

You need to use Html.fromHtml() to use HTML in your XML Strings. 

For example (< Android Nougat):

myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<h2>Title</h2><br><p>Description here</p>"));


For example (>= Android Nougat):

myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<h2>Title</h2><br><p>Description here</p>", Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT));


To differentiate between Android versions use Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N
