How to display HTML in TextView?

You need to use Html.fromHtml() to use HTML in your XML Strings. Simply referencing a String with HTML in your layout XML will not work.

This is what you should do in Java

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {    textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<h2>Title</h2><br><p>Description here</p>", Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT));} else {     textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<h2>Title</h2><br><p>Description here</p>"));}

And in Kotlin:

textView.text = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {    Html.fromHtml(html, Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT)} else {    Html.fromHtml(html)}

setText(Html.fromHtml(bodyData)) is deprecated after api 24. Now you have to do this:

 if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {      tvDocument.setText(Html.fromHtml(bodyData,Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY)); } else {      tvDocument.setText(Html.fromHtml(bodyData)); }
