add below library in your build.gradle file

//for html to text
compile 'org.jsoup:jsoup:1.8.3'

and use below method to get your html code as text in android.

public String html2text(String html) {
    try {
        return Jsoup.parse(html).text();
    } catch (Exception ignored) {
        return "";
    }
}

String myhtmlcode = "<p>its my html code</p>";

yourTextView.settext(html2text(myhtmlcode));

above code convert HTML code as a text merely, as you mentioned in your question. you should create necessary if else condition as your requirement. and its easy to handle. – Dhiren Basra Nov 07 '17 at 10:53

add below library in your build.gradle file

//for html to text
compile 'org.jsoup:jsoup:1.8.3'

and

TextView txt_htmltext;
Button btn;

txt_htmltext = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt_htmltext);
btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn);

txt_htmltext.setText(R.string.temp_html_text);

btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        txt_htmltext.setText(html2text(txt_htmltext.getText().toString()));
    }
});

public String html2text(String html) {
    try {
        return Jsoup.parse(html).text();
    } catch (Exception ignored) {
        return "";
    }
}

res/values/string.xml:

<string name="temp_html_text"><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> </head> <body> <h1>This is a Heading</h1> <p>This is a paragraph.</p> </body> </html>]]></string>

XML code:

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="3sp">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txt_htmltext"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center|left"
        android:text="@string/temp_html_text"/>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="html to text"/>

</LinearLayout>

@SachinSrivastava You can't get exact output like
header tag
or any alignment in android, use instead, to get exact HTML output, create a file1.html file and put it in your asset folder and call it in Webview. — Dhiren Basra, Nov 07 '17 at 12:07
