I have a String: myFullString which looks like:

<html>
<body style="background-color: transparent; margin-top:75px; padding:0px;"> 
<style type="text/css"> 
p {margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px; margin-top:40px; margin-bottom:40px; } 
</style> <p> 
<font face="helvetica" size=8 color=white> 
<b>  Heading 
</b></font> 
<font face="helvetica" size=6> <br/> <br/>  
<br/> Address Line 1 
<br/> Address Line 2 <br/> 
<br/> Tel: PhoneNumber 
<br/> Fax: Fax No <br/> 
<br/> <br/><br/>
</font></p> 
</body></html>

I want the phone numbers and/or link if any to appear as clickable/hi lighted. So I wrote the following code:

        Spannable sp = new SpannableString(myFullString.toString());
        Linkify.addLinks(sp, Linkify.ALL);
        final String html = Html.toHtml(sp) ;
        mWebView.setClickable(true);
        mWebView.loadData(html, "text/html", "utf-8");

I get the following result:
hyperlink exists but it shows the whole file

In this webview, the texts are hyperlinked but we are able to see the tags.

I also tried using the following code:

Spannable sp = new SpannableString(myFullString.toString());
Linkify.addLinks(sp, Linkify.ALL);
mWebView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, sp.toString(),"text/html", "utf-8", "about:blank");

But it’s giving the following output:

loadDataWithBaseURL

It shows the correct text font, but does not link the texts.

How do I modify my code such that the links are shown and it won’t show the tags?
The webview contents are created dynamically.

    Since I was not able to find an easier way…

    I did some thing like this for every line which was to be shown in the webpage:

                String str=mWebFileArray [i].toString();
            if(str.contains("<!- ")){
                str.replace("<!- ", "<!-- ").replace(" ->", " -->");
            }else{
                Spannable sp = new SpannableString(str);
                Linkify.addLinks(sp, Linkify.ALL);
                str = Html.toHtml(sp) ;
            }
            myArray.add(str);

    now, it links the valid text….
