Change Text Color of One Word in a Textview

Change text color of one word in a TextView

Easiest way I know is to just use html.

String first = "This word is ";
String next = "<font color='#EE0000'>red</font>";
t.setText(Html.fromHtml(first + next));

But this will require you to rebuild the TextView when (if?) you want to change the color, which could cause a hassle.

Spannable is more flexible:

            + getText(R.string.currentversion) + CepVizyon.getLicenseText();

Spannable spannable = new SpannableString(text2);

spannable.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.WHITE), text.length(), (text + CepVizyon.getPhoneCode()).length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

myTextView.setText(spannable, TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);

How to change text color of specific text in textview at runtime?

Assuming that you get a string like you mentioned,

If you want to color a text you can use <font color='#EE0000'>TextYouWantToColor</font> so you need to replace <(> with <font color='#EE0000'> and <)> with </font>

Example

public class YourActivity extends AppCompatActivity  {

  private  String yourString ;
  private  String yourNewString ;
  private  TextView tv ;
  private  String colorCodeStart = "<font color='#EE0000'>";  // use any color as  your want
  private  String colorCodeEnd = "</font>";


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv);

        yourString = "MY name is <(>Mohit Kumar<)>. <(>Sachin<)> is my role model. I am <(>12<)> year old. Currently i am in <(>delhi<)> but my hometown is <(>bangalore<)>.";
        yourNewString =  yourString.replace("<(>",colorCodeStart); // <(> and <)> are different replace them with your color code String, First one with start tag
        yourNewString=  yourNewString.replace("<)>",colorCodeEnd); // then end tag
        Log.d("CheckNew",yourNewString);
        tv.setText((Html.fromHtml(yourNewString))); 

    }


}

Change text Background color of Specific word in a TextView

Here is my working code that you can use to highlight some part of string:

     private void highlightTextPart(TextView textView, int index, String regularExpression) {
        String fullText = textView.getText().toString();
        int startPos = 0;
        int endPos = fullText.length();
        String[] textParts = fullText.split(regularExpression);
        if (index < 0 || index > textParts.length - 1) {
            return;
        }
        if (textParts.length > 1) {
            startPos = fullText.indexOf(textParts[index]);
            endPos = fullText.indexOf(regularExpression, startPos);
            if (endPos == -1) {
                endPos = fullText.length();
            }
        }
        Spannable spannable = new SpannableString(fullText);
        ColorStateList blueColor = new ColorStateList(new int[][] { new int[] {}}, new int[] { Color.BLUE });
        TextAppearanceSpan textAppearanceSpan = new TextAppearanceSpan(null, Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC, -1, blueColor, null);
        BackgroundColorSpan backgroundColorSpan = new BackgroundColorSpan(Color.GREEN);
        spannable.setSpan(textAppearanceSpan, startPos, endPos, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
        spannable.setSpan(backgroundColorSpan, startPos, endPos, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
        textView.setText(spannable);
    }

Then in your activity, call like the following:

    int index = 3;
    String regularExpression = " ";
    String text = "Hello StackOverflow From BNK!";
    TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
    if (textView != null) {
        textView.setText(text);
        highlightTextPart(textView, index, regularExpression);
    }
