The direct answer to your question: You cannot use HTML tables outside of WebViews. In general, HTML doesn't belong in an Android app outside of WebViews and some limited formatting (e.g. <strong> or <em> tags) in TextViews.

The problem with your provided code: You are using System.out.println to try to output the HTML. This simply logs the line to the logcat (and not in a standard way either). Android relies on layouts and Views to present the user interface.

If you don't want to use a WebView, the most appropriate method of displaying a table would be to parse the data and display it in a TableLayout.
