Decimal display

Question

I have seen some Android apps display decimal numbers, where the decimal part has a smaller font, although they seem to be in the same TextView, for example:

I was wondering how to do something like this.

Answer 1

Try setting the HTML string to TextView

 String text = "831<sup>69</sup>"; textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(text), TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE); 

Answer 2

Here is one way to do this in a java file:

 textview.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>" + title + "</b>" + "<small>" + description + "</small>")); 

OR

Use covers .

Example:

 final SpannableStringBuilder sb = new SpannableStringBuilder("your text here"); // Span to set text color to some RGB value final ForegroundColorSpan fcs = new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.rgb(158, 158, 158)); // Span to make text bold final StyleSpan bss = new StyleSpan(android.graphics.Typeface.BOLD); // Set the text color for first 4 characters sb.setSpan(fcs, 0, 4, Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE); // make them also bold sb.setSpan(bss, 0, 4, Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE); yourTextView.setText(sb);
