Answer 1

In Android application I just implemented HTMLifying of a content ( see https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/375 ). Actual transformation was done in literary 3 lines of code using Android system libraries. This gives an advantage of using better implementation at each subsequent version of Android libraries.

private static String htmlifyPlain(String textIn) {
    SpannableString spannable = SpannableString.valueOf(textIn);
    Linkify.addLinks(spannable, Linkify.WEB_URLS);
    return Html.toHtml(spannable);
}
