Set color of TextView span in Android

发布于 2020-04-07 10:16:20

Is it possible to set the color of just span of text in a TextView?

I would like to do something similar to the Twitter app, in which a part of the text is blue. See image below:

alt text

Another answer would be very similar, but wouldn't need to set the text of the TextView twice

TextView TV = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.mytextview01);

Spannable wordtoSpan = new SpannableString("I know just how to whisper, And I know just how to cry,I know just where to find the answers");        

wordtoSpan.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.BLUE), 15, 30, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

TV.setText(wordtoSpan);

@mostafahashim create multiple spans by repeating line 3 wordtoSpan.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 50, 80, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

Kotlin + Spannable String solution would look like this stackoverflow.com/questions/4032676/…
