HTML Encoding

Try htmlEncode() from android.text.TextUtils

TextUtils.htmlEncode("My String with <");

HTMLDecoding

To decode HTML encoded Strings use fromHtml(htmlEncodedString) from android.text.Html

Html.fromHtml(htmlEncodedString).toString();

[EDIT] You asked how you must proceed after retrieving the TextView by its ID from the resource XML. You would set its text like that:

TextView t=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
t.setText(TextUtils.htmlEncode("My HTML encoded String with <"));

Don't forget to import android.text.TextUtils first!
