Help somebody, I am stuck.
The goal is to view html text with pictures and etc. and to be able catch longClick events on pieces of plain text. And then get this txt and do something with it.
If you are writing a custom application to load html documents then you should have the look at WebView documentation for it. It contains everything to guide you.

I have gone through this link for reference
https://commonsware.com/blog/Android/2010/05/26/html-tags-supported-by-textview.html
The information is right there on your link. To use it as a spannable you have to call the fromHtml() method on your textview. After initializing the component. Please refer to this question:
How to display HTML in TextView?
All your answers are there, sorry for not formatting the answer correctly I'm on mobile at the moment
I am creating a mathematics app and have to display mathematical equations in my app. There are many answers related to this but I am not able to conclude how to do this?
As mentioned in the comments above you can use that library MathView or other possibilities are ,
You can go with using the spannable string and can make superscripts
and subscripts easily.
You can also use the HTML.fromHTML(String html) which will give you
the spanned text and that you can set it to the TextView.
Or else show a webview and load the html page that contains the
formulas and solutions. (This will be like creating a dynamic html
files with in the app and showing it in the Webiew)
I'm following this tutorial and I modified the example code to let it work for my XML file, now it renders HTML into a webView and the result is a raw list of items (not very beautiful). I don't understand why it chose a webView to display data. Now I don't know how to go forward, should I follow the original approach adding CSS styles and HTML or should I get data and display them with a native listView? my problem is that the whole example is build on the HTML string composition and it seems quite difficult to modify to get only data and put in a listview.
I am using a simple textview to show some html string in my android app. If I show only text with links I have no problem, but when I receive some data which contains images and tables the images are showing like obj string only and the tablet are not even shown, only the text part is showing. I know I can use webview, but i don't have so much control of the contents view and I can't customize it so much as in textview.
Is there any way that I can show tables and images in textview, while the images are saved on sd card. I don't need any methods to download them from internet and stuff like that.
Any help / suggestions / advices are appreciated!
No. TextView is not WebView. Use the latter for more markup that elementary attributes like <B>, <U> or tags like <A>
I am writing an android application that will be displaying codes... specially java codes, or maybe jsp code as well. I was thinking about placing these codes in a TextView. However i dont know how to do this for android. I didnt find any tutorial or documentation on how to display formated text in a TextView. I know I can put html in there, so one direction would be format the code itself in html and then place it in the textview.
Is there a better way to do that?
Many thanks

TExtView can't do all the formatting. HTML is the best guess.
Search for "Spannable HTML Textview Android" and you will get quite a few examples. Here is one.
Is it possible to have multiple styles inside a TextView?
