Question

protected String getEntryContent(String entryContent) {
    Log.d(getClass().getName(), "getEntryContent()");
    String mWebViewContent;
     mWebView.loadDataWithBaseURL(baseUrl,
            entryContent, mimeType,
            encoding, null);

        mWebViewContent =Html.fromHtml(entryContent).toString();
        return mWebViewContent;
    }

Output:

    h2 {font-size:1.2em;font-weight:normal;} a {color:#6688cc;} ol {padding-             left:1.5em;} blockquote {margin-left:0em;} .interProject, .noprint {display:none;} li, blockquote {margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;}

You probably passed the inline CSS in your string. From the javadoc of HTML.fromHtml it nowhere states that it can handle inline css, therefore it propably handles it like normal text

Returns displayable styled text from the provided HTML string. Any tags in the HTML will use the specified ImageGetter to request a representation of the image (use null if you don't want this) and the specified TagHandler to handle unknown tags (specify null if you don't want this).

You have to remove the css manually yourself. See this answer on how to do that: Removing css information from HTML in java

You can use this:

CharSequence mSequence = Html.fromHtml("<b>Hello</b> Android");
    textView.setText(mSequence);

You can also convert it into String as:

String mString = mSequence.toString();
