Why doesn't my text show up with style when using SpannableStringBuilder?

Question

I have a problem with a SpannableString object.

Below\'s a short example:

SpannableString spanstr = new SpannableString(\"Bold please!\"         


        

Answer 1

Use the spannable string builder for setting as text in textview :

contentView.setText(sb);

or else you can do like this :

SpannableStringBuilder spanstr = new SpannableStringBuilder("Bold please!");
spanstr.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD), 0, spanstr.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
spanstr.append("\n");
spanstr.append("The first line is bold. This one isn't.");
contentView.setText(spanstr);
