Besides writting your whole html text into the BufferWriter , you can simply write it into a String and then you can set it as `Html.toHtml()`. — GrIsHu, Apr 10 '13 at 07:12
`Html.fromHtml` doesn't handle `` tags, just certain ones for text formatting. If you want to display complete HTML you need to manage each text with the either `
` tag or `
` or ` ` space tag as per your needs. — GrIsHu, Apr 10 '13 at 11:43

Html.toHtml doesn't support <table>. It only supports basic tags like <b><u><i>...

Use a pre tag to create a table:

 mbufferWriter.write("<html><h4>Customer Order List</h4>" + "<body>" + 
        "<pre> " +
            "  Item No    Item Name    Unit     QTY   Item Rate     Amount" +
        "</pre>");
