How to convert given html string to normal string android?

Question

This is given string.

String a=Test\r\n        Test description

How to convert this string to display and store in textview?

I used like this. But it is not working.

    TextView textView;
    textview.setText((Html.fromHtml(a).toString()));

This gives output like this:

   <p>strong>Test</strong></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;Test description</p>

How to set as proper String in textview?

For this you can use Jsoup

String normailString = Jsoup.parse(htmlString).text();

Actually 'Html.fromHtml(a).toString()' is working perfectly for me, i dont know what happened in your case. Make sure Imported is 'android.text.Html'.

You must uses This Tag in your string.xml File :

<![CDATA[<h1><strong>YOUR HTML CODE HERE</strong></h1> ]]>

Or Try adding the CDATA Tag in your String Variable
