Is it possible to have multiple styles inside a TextView?

Question

Is it possible to set multiple styles for different pieces of text inside a TextView?

For instance, I am setting the text as follows:

tv.setText(line

Yes, it is possible using SpannedString. If you are using Kotlin, it becomes even easier to do by using core-ktx, as it provides a domain-specific-language (DSL) for doing this:

    val string: SpannedString = buildSpannedString {
        bold {
            append("1111")
        }
        append("Devansh")     
    }

More options provided by it are:

append("Hello There")
bold {
    append("bold")
    italic {
        append("bold and italic")
        underline {
            append("then some text with underline")
        }
    }
}

At last, you can just to:

textView.text = string
