I get this String from API which should be a HTML:

"<ul><li>Without Flavor &amp; Size</li><li>With Gallery Images </li><li>With Tag </li><li>With User Review</li><li>Inventory: In stock</li><li>Visibility: Enable</li><li>With Regular Price&nbsp; / Without Sale Price</li><li>Without Role based pricing</li><li>Without Upsells and Cross-sells Products</li><li>With one user review</li><li>Stock Availability: In Stock</li><li>Manage Stock: No </li></ul> "

Which is translated in a TextView like this when I use Html.fromHtml:

My question is how to display this text like the web page (which should be an unorder list) in TextView.

I tried Html.fromHtml, but it doesn't work and tried many external libs with no success.

Use a [WebView](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView), I would highly suggest against trying to write your own HTML parser. – Matt Clark May 15 '18 at 22:57
I tried it still shows the same. Did I need to add more meta-data to the text? – Ali Habbash May 15 '18 at 23:02
Did you [try it like this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/3629454/1790644)? – Matt Clark May 15 '18 at 23:03
I try this `webView.loadDataWithBaseURL("", URLEncoder.encode(description,"UTF-8"),"text/html","UTF-8","");` but it shows it something like what i get from the API – Ali Habbash May 15 '18 at 23:23
The second field should get raw HTML, why are you URL encoding it? – Matt Clark May 15 '18 at 23:24
Because I try the raw html but it shows it like the screen shot so I try to escape Strings – Ali Habbash May 15 '18 at 23:28
