If you want to use the html coding and view just the content without the html tag and that too in textview you have to use this syntax in the java file :

TextView textView = (TextViewPlus) findViewById(R.id.textViewId);
        textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.htmlString)));

the above line will fetch the string content in the string.xml file and in string.xml file you can give the content in html format , something like this :

 <string name="htmlString"><![CDATA[

<div>
    <p>hello this can be you any content and even you can use the other html tags.</p>
</div>


]]></string>

let me remind you the content has to be inclosed between: <[CDATA[......your html code goes here........]]>

There are two ways. Either go for a webview which can encode HTML tags automatically or if you want to use Textview you can use Html.fromHtml() method available on Android....Then set the Text to your Textview. Something like this

Textview.setText(Html.fromHtml(source));

or Even like this

Spanned t=Html.fromHtml("HTML String that needs to be displayed");
yourtextView.setText(t);
