How to set BOLD,ITALIC & UNDERLINE properties to dynamic textview in Android

Below is the code sample for setting BOLD,ITALIC & UNDERLINE properties to the TextView which is dynamically created and so is the its content. We use "SpannableString" to serve this purpose.

TextView textView=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview);

SpannableString spannableString=new SpannableString("Hello String"/*YOUR STRING*/);

         

/*Set your desired span...*/

spannableString.setSpan(

new StyleSpan(android.graphics.Typeface.BOLD)/*OBJECT*/

          , 0/*STARTING POSITION*/

          , spannableString.length()/*ENDING POSITION*/

          , 0/*FLAGS*/);

         

/*---  Object can be any of the following  ---

new StyleSpan(android.graphics.Typeface.BOLD);

new StyleSpan(android.graphics.Typeface.ITALIC);

new StyleSpan(android.graphics.Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC);

new UnderlineSpan();

--------------------------------------------*/

    

/*   Set spanned string to views(TextView/Button..) just like

 *   any other string

 */          

textView.setText(spannableString);

Happy coding:-)
