converting HTML to String without TextView

I am having Problems filling my TextView. I have an HTML String that needs to be converted from HTML to String and the replace some characters. Problem is: I can convert it directly with: TextView.setText(Html.fromHtml(sampleText);

But I need to alter the converted sampleText before giving it to the TextView.

E.g.: 

String sampleText = "<b>Some Text</b>"
newSampleText = Html.fromHtml(sampleText);
newSampleText.replace(char1, char2);
TextView.setText(newSampletext);

Does anyone know how to convert the HTML saved inside the String?

if you don't need formatting, use Html.fromHtml(sampleText).toString()

otherwise, you need to extract text from html with jsoup to find and change text like here

please try this one:

You need to use Html.fromHtml() to use HTML in your XML Strings. Simply referencing a String with HTML in your layout XML will not work.

DEMO

Try use This version of setText and use SPANNABLE buffer type
