Change text color of one word in a TextView

android, colors, string, textview

Solution

Easiest way I know is to just use html.

String first = "This word is ";
String next = "<font color='#EE0000'>red</font>";
t.setText(Html.fromHtml(first + next));

But this will require you to rebuild the TextView when (if?) you want to change the color, which could cause a hassle.

Problem

I am looking for a way to change the color of a text of a single word in a `TextView` from within an `Activity`. For example, with this: ``` String first = "This word is "; String next = "red" TextView t = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textbox); t.setText(first + next); ``` How would I change the color of the `next` text to red?
