 <string name="link"> <![CDATA[
     <html>
 <head></head>
 <body style="text-align:justify;color:white;background-color:black;">

// content 
  </body>
</html>

    ]]>

For that you have to set background image in xml

           <WebView
            android:id="@+id/webView"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="40dp"
            android:background="@drawable/ic_launcher"
            android:scrollbars="none" />

After Declaring in activity you have to set transparent background color.

            WebView  webView= (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
            webView.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
