Suppose I have the next text :
Hello stackOverflow
And I wish to set the second word to be both RelativeSizeSpan (to set a relative font size) and TextAppearanceSpan (to set the color of the text) , how do I merge them both ?
All I know is that I can choose one of them , using the next code for example :
final SpannableString textToShow = new SpannableString("Hello stackOverflow");
textToShow.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(1.5f), textToShow.length() - "stackOverflow".length(),textToShow.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
textView.setText(textToShow);
But I need to also set the color , or even add other features from other spanning classes ...
What can I do ?
Simply set additional spans. They are going to overlap/merge when neccessary. This code works for me:
final SpannableString text = new SpannableString("Hello stackOverflow");
text.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(1.5f), text.length() - "stackOverflow".length(), text.length(),
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
text.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 3, text.length() - 3, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
tv.setText(text);
