You should have get Html tag's value from this class

class MyJavaScriptInterface 
{

        private Context ctx;

        MyJavaScriptInterface(Context ctx) 
        {
            this.ctx = ctx;
        }

        public void showHTML(String html) 
        {
             String htmlTags = html;
        }
}

In the above code, in showHTML() method the variable htmlTags has full text of html you want.

None of the methods in the added interface (MyJavaScriptInterface) have been annotated with @android.webkit.JavascriptInterface; they will not be visible in API 17. WebView.addJavascriptInterface should not be called with minSdkVersion < 17 for security reasons: JavaScript can use reflection to manipulate application.
