Multiple textsize in a single textview in android

Question

Is it possible to set different TextSize for different parts of the content of a given Textview using XML in android ?

You can do that in java code. Misread the question at first and posted a alternative solution — Raghunandan, May 14 '14 at 11:42
through xml, I don't think it's possible. But in Java code you can achieve it using Html tags or through `SpannableString`. — Spring Breaker, May 14 '14 at 11:44
Your question isn't clear. What does "...using XML in android ?" mean exactly? — Squonk, May 14 '14 at 11:44

Programatically but not using XML you could achieve it using setSpan

For 10 Characters word with first 5 chars has fontsize 12 and last 5 chars has 16.

 Textview myTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview); SpannableString
 text = new SpannableString(myString);

 text.setSpan(new TextAppearanceSpan(null, 0, 12, null, null),0,5,
 Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); 

 text.setSpan(new TextAppearanceSpan(null, 0, 16, null, null),6,10,
 Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

 myTextView.setText(text, TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);
