android:maxLines = "any integer"
android:scrollbars = "vertical"

Then use:

yourTextView.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

in your main activity.

You can create a string containing HTML code. This String will then be used in a webView that you will make in you faq_xml.

Check this thread..

You can assign your html code to a string and then apply that css file you learned to create in the above mentioned thread.

Then call the webView like

wv.loadDataWithBaseURL("", YourStringHere, mimeType, encoding, "");
