android: string format specify bold

Question

Title: %1$s 

which is formatted us

Answer 1

Now, it is reasonably supported by Android.

you can define the string in xml as Hey <b>This is in bold</b>

Then in code, use this to convert to CharSequence and then use it for e.g in TextView

String text = getResources().getString(R.string.text-to_show);
CharSequence styledText = Html.fromHtml(text);
textview.setText(styledText);
