my receiving Json format is

{"description":"\\u2022first one\\n\\u2022second one edited\\n"}

Answer 1

At First , You can check Html.fromHtml & remove one \ .

Html.formHtml method takes an Html.TagHandler and an Html.ImageGetter as arguments as well as the text to parse.

YourTextViewObj.setText(Html.fromHtml("Your String"));

FYI

Currently android seems support the following HTML tags to be rendered on TextView.

Answer 2

You can set text using Html.fromHtml like

textview.setText(Html.fromHtml(your description));
