You should never do this. First it would be a ScrollView inside a ScrollView which can seriously mess with scrolling. And secondly the WebView is a huge object and requires a high amount of memory. You should never use a WebView inside a ListView as there could be many WebView instances around at the same time which will consume a high amount of memory therefore increasing load times and this will make the list scrolling sluggish and unresponsive.

You can display simple html content with a TextView, like this: 

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(htmlContent));
