how do I highlight the searched text in my search filter?

Question

I am trying to do a search such that all the \"visible\" search letters should be highlighted. I tried using spannable but that didn\'t do the trick, maybe I wasnt doing it

Answer 1

Put this code before setting text in getview

Spannable wordtoSpan = new SpannableString("Your_text_in_getviews");

        wordtoSpan.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 0, edtFilter
                .getText().toString().length(),
                Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
txt_contact.setText(wordtoSpan);
