I am using a textview to display some text and I would like different parts of the text to be shown in different colours, e.g. first half of the text in red, second in blue. I cant seem to find a way of doing this. I have heard of using Html.fromHtml() but I am not exactly sure how to do it this way.

Is there a simple way to draw some text with different fill and stroke colours?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView that contains an Image on the left of two vertically-oriented TextViews using a RelativeLayout. When both TextViews have text it looks fine. Sometimes the TextView on the bottom won't have any text, and the problem is that the entire layout is several pixels above where it should be because it still reserves that space for text when there isn't any making the entire list have annoying blank gaps. I remember seeing an example of where someone made the layout not reserve the space, but I can't remember how he did it.

I found a possible solution here, but it does not work (even if you change vertical-center to center_vertical, etc).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?

I hade some text displayed in a textview and would like to highlight (e.g. a specific background or font color) part of it. But how can i do that? didn't found a solution in the api or google.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have this currently.
CODE:............
The TextView renders with the text that has the word "awesome" bolded and underlined (Yay). However in my view, I cannot focus the subregion of text I specified in the clickablespan. I can click on it with a touch event, but I cannot focus it. I am testing this on Android 1.5 + 2.1. I have also tried UrlSpan as well.
I have also tried instead of using a ClickableSpan, to actually attach an onClick listener to the entire block of text but that doesn't give the region focus, just makes clicking easier.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs the best way to add some static text to a display to use a TextView?
Seems like there should be a TextLabel or TextStatic or something like that...
I have a layout that looks something like this:
[TextView 1] [TextView 2]
[ TextView 2 spill-over ]
Essentially, I need the contents of TextView 2 to wrap to the next line, but start where TextView 1 starts. I was thinking that if I knew how much text would fit into TextView 2 before it runs out of space on line one, I could take the rest of the text and put it in another TextView below the first two. So I need to measure how much text will fit into a TextView (which can be tricky because as far as I can tell, Android will try to break the text in a TextView at a good location so that it won't break a word in the middle if it can be avoided) or I need a new idea on how to lay this out.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a method for resizing multi-line text in a TextView such that it fits within the bounds (both the X and Y dimensions) of the TextView. At present, I have something, but all it does is resize the text such that just the first letter/character of the text fills the dimensions of the TextView (i.e. only the first letter is viewable, and it's huge). I need it to fit all the lines of the text within the bounds of the TextView.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a textview in my XML layout file, but when I try to change its text value with code pragmatically (dynamically, depending on which button the user clicks) then the text of the textview doesn't change.
This is the code that I tried:
TextView userText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.User);
userText.setText(bundle.getString("user"));
In debug mode, I can see that usertext has the changed text, but the change doesn't appear on my mobile window... I don't know why.
EDIT: SOLVED! it was a problem with my relative layout, text is out of the window!

HIghligh text in a EditText. I'd like to do the same in TextView or WebView
thats Possible?
I have a situation where I am using a TextView with an image and would like to set a background on just the text part. When I use android:background it sets the background behind both the text and the image. Is there a way to have it just put the background behind the text without me having to tear apart my layout and use a separate ImageView with the TextView?
