How to set the font style to bold, italic and underlined in an Android TextView?

Question

I want to make a TextView\'s content bold, italic and underlined. I tried the following code and it works, but doesn\'t underline.

Answer 1

I don't know about underline, but for bold and italic there is "bolditalic". There is no mention of underline here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:textStyle

Mind you that to use the mentioned bolditalic you need to, and I quote from that page

Must be one or more (separated by '|') of the following constant values.

so you'd use bold|italic

You could check this question for underline: Can I underline text in an android layout?
