2 different colors for Text in same text view in android

Question

I have a TextView widget, as shown below

<TextView 
        android:text="@string/inputText"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1" />

The inputText is defined in Strings.xml as

<String name="inputText">The value of input is positive now</String>

Now, I want the whole text to be displayed in Brown color, and only 'positive' in green color.

Is there any way to do so ? in brief my question is multiple coloring for same textview at the same time
