Answer
Use this:
String simpleString = Html.fromHtml("your_html_string").toString();
It will eradicate all the html stuff and will return the content in simple string.
Moreover, if you want to differentiate among different tags/classes and would need a specific text out of html then you may need to use some sophisticated solutions like JSOUP.
