How to set part of text to bold when using AlertDialog.setMessage() in Android?
android, android-alertdialog, java
Solution
You need to use `Html.fromHtml()` too. For example:
AlertDialog.setMessage(Html.fromHtml("Hello "+"<b>"+"World"+"</b>"));
Update: Looks like `Html.fromHtml(String source)` has been deprecated in the Latest Android Nougat version. Although deprecation doesn't mean that you need to change your code now, but it's a good practice to remove deprecated code from your app as soon as possible. The replacement is `Html.fromHtml(String source, int flags)`. You just need to add an additional parameter mentioning a flag.
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
AlertDialog.setMessage(Html.fromHtml("Hello "+"<b>"+"World"+"</b>", Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY));
} else {
@Suppress("DEPRECATION")
AlertDialog.setMessage(Html.fromHtml("Hello "+"<b>"+"World"+"</b>"));
}
