java - How do i parse HTML text with tags that i retrieve from firebaseDB in a TextView? No WebView

There are two options :

First is to use Html.fromHtml(htmlString)

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
   textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(htmlString,Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY));
} else  {
   textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(htmlString));
}

The tags allowed in this approach are :

Another option is to use CDATA

Define a string resource like

%1$s]]>

Then call it like textView.setText(res.getString(R.string.stringName, htmlString));
