Answer 1

Its Late but yesterday i figure out this problem. The Problem is in your case is your end is before start like 7....0 which is wrong if you want to highlight a text you start should be less then your end. Check out posted example its perfectly working.

The Answer is for those Who still has this issue.

 String searchText = "Your search String";
        String qr_code = "Your String";

        int length = searchText.length();
        if (length > 0) {
            //color your text here
            int index = qr_code.indexOf(searchText);
            SpannableString sb = new SpannableString(qr_code);
            ForegroundColorSpan fcs = new ForegroundColorSpan(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorAccent));
            sb.setSpan(fcs, index, (index+length), Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE)
            holder.textViewShortCode.setText(sb);
        } else {
            textViewShortCode.setText(Html.fromHtml(qr_code));
        }
