I need to create a String placed in a TextView that will display a string like this:
First Part Not Bold BOLD rest not bold
So I want to know how I could use SpannableStringBuilder
to do this?
I could use three TextEdit to accomplish this but I would like to use best solution.
First Part Not Bold BOLD rest not bold
You can do this either as @Rajesh suggested or by this.
String normalBefore= "First Part Not Bold ";
String normalBOLD= "BOLD ";
String normalAfter= "rest not bold";
String finalString= normalBefore+normalBOLD+normalAfter;
Spannable sb = new SpannableString( finalString );
sb.setSpan(new StyleSpan(android.graphics.Typeface.BOLD), finalString.indexOf(normalBOLD)+ normalBOLD.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); //bold
sb.setSpan(new AbsoluteSizeSpan(intSize), finalString.indexOf(normalBOLD)+ normalBOLD.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);//resize size
to show this in TextView
textview.setText(sb, TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);
