String with multiple fonts and textSize in the same textView

Question

I have to put in the same textView a string with substrings of different sizes and colors. How can I do?

Answer 1

You need to create a String with HTML tags and set this String to TextView as Html.fromHtml like below:

((TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt)).setText(
                        Html.fromHtml("<Font color=\'" + "#457548"
                                + "'\" >" + "your text"
                                + "</Font>"), TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE)

Answer 2

You could attach html notation to the text, or put a textview for each different size and color in a linearlayout, why does it have to be strictly in one textview?

Answer 3

If you don't want to use HTML, you can use spannables in a custom view.

Have a look at some old questions those can give you some hints:

1. spannable on android for textView

Answer 4

Android has SpannableString that can be set in a textView. Each SpannableString can have a different color, font , onCLick() and so on. Multiple SpanableStrings can be set to a single texview.
