As per Android’s official Documentations any tags in the HTML will display as a generic replacement String which your program can then go through and replace with real strings.

Html.formHtml method takes an Html.TagHandler and an Html.ImageGetter as arguments as well as the text to parse.

Example

String Str_Html=" 
This is about me text that the user can put into their profile
 ";

Then

Your_TextView_Obj.setText(Html.fromHtml(Str_Html).toString());

Output

This is about me text that the user can put into their profile
