Cannot display HTML string

I am struggling with display string HTML in Android WebView. On the server side, I downloaded a web page and escape HTML characters and quotes (I used Python): my_string = html.escape(my_string, True) On the Android client side: strings are unescaped by: myString = StringEscapeUtils.unescapeHtml4(myString) webview.loadData( myString, "text/html", "encoding"); However webview just display them as literal strings. Here are the result: Edit: I add original string returned from server side: "&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html lang=&quot;en&quot;&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;X-UA-Compatible&quot; content=&quot;IE=edge&quot;&gt; &lt;meta name=&quot;viewport&quot; content=&quot;width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0&quot;&gt; &lt;meta name=&quot;description&quot; content=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;title&gt;Saulify&lt;/title&gt; &lt;!-- All the Favicons... --&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;shortcut icon&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/favicon.ico&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;apple-touch-icon&quot; sizes=&quot;57x57&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/apple-touch-icon-57x57.png&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;apple-touch-icon&quot; sizes=&quot;114x114&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/apple-touch-icon-114x114.png&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;apple-touch-icon&quot; sizes=&quot;72x72&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;apple-touch-icon&quot; sizes=&quot;144x144&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/apple-touch-icon-144x144.png&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;apple-touch-icon&quot; sizes=&quot;60x60&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/apple-touch-icon-60x60.png&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;apple-touch-icon&quot; sizes=&quot;120x120&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/apple-touch-icon-120x120.png&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;apple-touch-icon&quot; sizes=&quot;76x76&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/apple-touch-icon-76x76.png&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;apple-touch-icon&quot; sizes=&quot;152x152&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/apple-touch-icon-152x152.png&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;apple-touch-icon&quot; sizes=&quot;180x180&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/apple-touch-icon-180x180.png&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;icon&quot; type=&quot;image/png&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/favicon-192x192.png&quot; sizes=&quot;192x192&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;icon&quot; type=&quot;image/png&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/favicon-160x160.png&quot; sizes=&quot;160x160&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;icon&quot; type=&quot;image/png&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/favicon-96x96.png&quot; sizes=&quot;96x96&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;icon&quot; type=&quot;image/png&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/favicon-16x16.png&quot; sizes=&quot;16x16&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;icon&quot; type=&quot;image/png&quot; href=&quot;/static/favicon/favicon-32x32.png&quot; sizes=&quot;32x32&quot;&gt; &lt;meta name=&quot;msapplication-TileColor&quot; content=&quot;#da532c&quot;&gt; &lt;meta name=&quot;msapplication-TileImage&quot; content=&quot;/static/favicon/mstile-144x144.png&quot;&gt; &lt;meta name=&quot;msapplication-config&quot; content=&quot;/static/favicon/browserconfig.xml&quot;&gt; &lt;!-- External CSS --&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css&quot;&gt; &lt;!-- External Fonts --&gt; &lt;link href=&quot;//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.2.0/css/font-awesome.min.css&quot; rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot;&gt; &lt;link href=&#x27;//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,600&#x27; rel=&#x27;stylesheet&#x27; type=&#x27;text/css&#x27;&gt; &lt;link href=&#x27;//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lora:400,700&#x27; rel=&#x27;stylesheet&#x27; type=&#x27;text/css&#x27;&gt; &lt;!--[if lt IE 9]&gt; &lt;script src=&quot;//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/html5shiv/3.7.2/html5shiv.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src=&quot;//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/respond.js/1.4.2/respond.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt; &lt;!-- Site CSS --&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; href=&quot;/static/css/style.css&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; href=&quot;/static/css/glyphicon.css&quot;&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;container article-page&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;row&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;col-md-8 col-md-offset-2&quot;&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/22/ted-cruz-climate-change_n_6919002.html&quot;&gt;Gov.
