How to use rich text with tables in TextView?

Question

Android

In the SQlite database, I plan to store the formatted text in html format. Further, this text will be displayed in the TextView. Hence the question - what html tags "understand" textView and, accordingly, how to display these tags on the page. As far as I know, Html.fromHtml is already deprecated

Moreover, it does not support table td tr tbody table tags, etc.
Is there an alternative to what format to store data in in the database and how to display them. In a DB there can be a text with the table for example.
String Resources also doesn't support table tags - daniel-codes.blogspot.com/2011/04/html-in-textview...

PS the option of using Webview instead of Textview is hardly suitable for recyclerView...

Answer 1

I would like to hear other opinions on this issue, but I solved this issue as follows:
1) connected the library - https://github.com/PrivacyApps/html-textview
2) if there are table tags in the database <table></table>, then instead of the table a link is displayed when clicking on which opens the WebView. Accordingly, with the help of putExtra I transfer the table and receive it in WebView.
Below is the code I used:
1) build.gradle --> compile 'org.sufficientlysecure:html-textview:3.5'
2) Since I'm building the activity through recyclerview, I've added the following code to the adapter.
I add an inner class:

class ClickableTableSpanImpl extends ClickableTableSpan {
        @Override
        public ClickableTableSpan newInstance() {
            return new ClickableTableSpanImpl();
        }

        @Override
        public void onClick(View widget) {
            Intent tableIntent = new Intent(mContext, WebViewActivity.class);
            tableIntent.putExtra("extra_table", getTableHtml());
            mContext.startActivity(tableIntent);
        }
    }

In the onbindViewHolder method:

descriptionViewHolder.htmlTextViewText.setClickableTableSpan(new ClickableTableSpanImpl());
DrawTableLinkSpan drawTableLinkSpan = new DrawTableLinkSpan();
drawTableLinkSpan.setTableLinkText("-- Просмотреть таблицу --");
descriptionViewHolder.htmlTextViewText.setDrawTableLinkSpan(drawTableLinkSpan);
descriptionViewHolder.htmlTextViewText.setHtml(descriptionList.get(position).getText());

In WebViewActivity onCreate():

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_web_view);

        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

        // Получаем таблицу
        String webViewTable = getIntent().getStringExtra("extra_table");

        webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webViewTable);
        webView.loadData(webViewTable,"text/html; charset=UTF-8", null);
    }
