I faced the same problem and used Jsoup to help me out and add the required respected CSS. You can easily add attributes or CSS. I my case, I download from many sources various different HTML files, save them and then display them in a Webview. Here is how I parse the HTML before I save it to the database with Kotlin:

// Parse your HTML file or String with Jsoup
val doc = Jsoup.parse("MY HTML STRING")

// doc.select selects all tags in the the HTML document
doc.select("img").attr("width", "100%") // find all images and set with to 100%
doc.select("figure").attr("style", "width: 80%") // find all figures and set with to 80%
doc.select("iframe").attr("style", "width: 100%") // find all iframes and set with to 100%
// add more attributes or CSS to other HTML tags

val updatedHTMLString = doc.html()
// save to database or load it in your WebView

Add Jsoup to your project

Have fun!
