Yes, this is possible :

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible for achieving this you need to convert Input Stream from your local storage file path and create one String Builder to read every single line from Input Stream -

    // "string" is a your html file path
    File file = new File(string);
    try {
        FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
        BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new 
        InputStreamReader(fileInputStream));
        StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        String line;
        while ((line = r.readLine()) != null) {
            strBuilder.append(line).append("\n");
        }
        //"total" is your converted html you can show this on textview
        areTextView.fromHtml(String.valueOf(strBuilder));
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
