Answer 1

You just need to use Html.fromHtml() to use HTML in your XML Strings. 

Note: If you are simply referencing a String with HTML in your layout XML, it will not work.

Try using the code given below:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {

    textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<h2>Title</h2><br><p>Description here</p>", Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT));

} else { 

    textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<h2>Title</h2><br><p>Description here</p>"));

}
