    <p>You would need to download the HTML first using something like <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/org/apache/http/client/HttpClient.html" rel="nofollow"><code>HttpClient</code></a> to retrieve the data from the Internet (assuming you need to get it from the Internet and not a local file). Once you've done that, you can either display the HTML in a WebView, like you said, or, if the HTML is not complex and contains nothing other than some basic tags (<code>&lt;a&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;img&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;strong&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;em&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;br&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;p&gt;</code>, etc), you can pass it straight to the <code>TextView</code> since it supports some basic HTML display.</p> <p>To do this, you simply call <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/Html.html#fromHtml%28java.lang.String%29" rel="nofollow"><code>Html.fromHtml</code></a>, and pass it your downloaded HTML string. For example:</p> <pre><code>TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.MyTextview); tv.setText(Html.fromHtml(myHtmlString)); </code></pre> <p>The <code>fromHtml</code> method will parse the HTML and apply some basic formatting, returning a <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/Spannable.html" rel="nofollow"><code>Spannable</code></a> object which can then be passed straight to <code>TextView</code>'s <code>setText</code> method. It even supports links and image tags (for images, though, you'll need to implement an <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/Html.ImageGetter.html" rel="nofollow"><code>ImageGetter</code></a> to actually provide the respective Drawables). But I don't believe it supports CSS or inline styles.</p> <h2>How to download the HTML:</h2> <p>myHtmlString in the snippet above needs to contain the actual HTML markup, which of course you must obtain from somewhere. You can do this using HttpClient.</p> <pre><code>private String getHtml(String url) { HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url); try { HttpResponse response = client.execute(request); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent())); String line; StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(); while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) { builder.append(line + '\n'); } return builder.toString(); } catch(Exception e) { //Handle exception (no data connectivity, 404, etc) return "Error: " + e.toString(); } } </code></pre> <p>It's not enough to just use that code, however, since it should really be done on a separate thread (in fact, Android might flat out refuse to make a network connection on the UI thread. Take a look at AsyncTasks for more information on that. You can find some documentation <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/components/processes-and-threads.html#WorkerThreads" rel="nofollow">here</a> (scroll down a bit to "Using Asynctask").</p>

    2. CONope, myHtmlString needs to be the actual HTML itself. You'll need to obtain that somehow, such as by using the HttpClient class to make a network connection and download it. Note that there are a few caveats... you must include the `android.permission.INTERNET` permission in your manifest so you can access the Internet, and you should do the network operation on a separate thread, so you don't block the UI thread while it's downloading. I'll edit my answer to include a simple example of how to download HTML.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
