To get text content from HTML, use XmlPullParser.

Here are references:

Google developer doc

Tutorial on XML parsing

private String readText(String htmlStr) throws IOException, XmlPullParserException {

             String toReturn = "";
             XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
             factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
             XmlPullParser xpp = factory.newPullParser();

             xpp.setInput(new StringReader ("htmlStr"));
             int eventType = xpp.getEventType();
             while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
              if(eventType == XmlPullParser.TEXT) {
                  toReturn = "Text "+ xpp.getText());
              }
              eventType = xpp.next();
             }
            return toReturn;
}
