Android :: Multiple Styles Inside A TextView?

I was wondering if its possible to set multiple styles for different pieces of text inside a TextView. For instance, I am setting the text as follows:

CODE:...........................

Now, is it possible to have a different style for each text element? I mean bold for line1, normal for word1 and so on...

I found this http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#selectingtext:

Get our EditText object. EditText vw = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.text);

Set the EditText's text. vw.setText("Italic, highlighted, bold.");

If this were just a TextView, we could do: vw.setText("Italic, highlighted, bold.", TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE); to force it to use Spannable storage so styles can be attached. Or we could specify that in the XML.

Get the EditText's internal text storage. Spannable str = vw.getText();

Create our span sections, and assign a format to each.

CODE:............................

But it uses position numbers inside the text. Is there a cleaner way to do this?
