Please, show the exact data you are getting from the server. — Narendra Singh, Mar 22 '16 at 06:28

Okey. as you stated you want those data to be desplayed in WebView this is what you can do.

wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView)
wv.loadDataWithBaseURL("", YOUR_TEXT, "text/html", "utf-8", "");

I hope this will help.
