TextView with different fonts and styles?

Is it possible to have texts with different sizes, font-types or styles in the same TextView ?

Something like this:

You can do this using:

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>myLogin</b> <i>logout</i>"));

For more options, look into SpannableString: Link

With SpannableString, you can apply multiple formatting to a single string.

For anyone who wants to do this without the HTML formatting , use a SpannableString.

As in :

SpannableString styledString = new SpannableString("myLogin logout");
styledString.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD), 0, 7, 0);
styledString.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.ITALIC), 8, 14, 0);

TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv);
tv.setText(styledString);

Unless you make a custom TextView, no. Consider using two different TextViews if you do not want to create a custom TextView.
