Answer 1

Rather than using HTML to format your text (which is relatively slow) you could use Spans which give you much tighter control, and are more efficient. I wrote a blog post about the use of spans which may help you to get started.

Answer 2

wrong end tag:

b.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>" + st + "</b>" + "<br/>" + cursor.getString(1)));
