I used the tutorial listed here to parse my XML:

http://android-er.blogspot.com/2010/05/simple-rss-reader-iii-show-details-once.html

The problem I am having is when I try to read in the XML description tag all I get is this:

<

The “<” symbol is where the description should go. This is the feed I am reading: http://www.calvaryccm.com/rss/devos.ashx

Please help me solve my issue in getting the real text into the description. Thank you!

    If the data is html encoded, you can use one of the following methods — or if it is unencoded, you can surround the content in CDATA tags.

    Spanned spannedContent = Html.fromHtml(htmlString);
textView.setText(spannedContent, BufferType.SPANNABLE);

    or

    WebView webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.aWebView);
String htmlString = "<html><body>Some html</body></html>";
webview.loadData(htmlString, "text/html", "utf-8");
