First escape the quote of demoString:

String demoString = "\"/helio/demo\"";

Then add it to demoStrUrl using + operator:

String demoStrUrl = "<a href="+demoString+" ><h3 class.....

To facilitate with escaping HTML you can look into the apache commons StringEscapeUtils class.

Simply:

String demoString = "/helio/demo";
String demoStrUrl = "<a href=\"" + demoString + "\"><h3 class=\"demoDetails\">Details</h3></a>";

Note that if you want to add a " sign within the String, you have to escape it with \

You have to append String variables as an object using + only. Otherwise it would again be handled like a fixed String and not your defined variable.

String demoString = "/helio/demo";
String demoStrUrl = "<a href=\""+demoString+"\" ><h3 class=\"demoDetails\">Details</h3></a>";
