Single textview with multiple action

We can use single textview for:

1.  Different textsizes.

2.  Different colors.

3.  Click event.

4.  Linking with URL etc.

private void prepareStylishText ( TextView view ) {

        SpannableStringBuilder spanTxt = new SpannableStringBuilder("Different");

        //set the text clickable.

        spanTxt.setSpan(new ClickableSpan() {

            @Override

            public void onClick(View widget) {

                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Different style text in android.",

                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            }

        },

                0, spanTxt.length(), 0 );

        //set the text color.

        spanTxt.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED),

                0, spanTxt.length(), 0 );

        //add more text.

        spanTxt.append(" style");

        spanTxt.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.BLUE),

            spanTxt.length() - " style".length(), spanTxt.length(), 0 );

        spanTxt.append(" text with single textview in");

        spanTxt.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.BLACK),

            spanTxt.length() - " text with single textview in".length(), spanTxt.length(), 0 );

        spanTxt.append(" android.");

        //make the textsize 2 times.

        spanTxt.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(2f), spanTxt.length() - " android".length(), spanTxt.length(), 0  );

        //make the link.

        spanTxt.setSpan(new URLSpan("http://developer.android.com/index.html"), spanTxt.length() - " android".length(), spanTxt.length(), 0 );

        //set the color after the link else the link color will override it.

        spanTxt.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.GREEN),

                spanTxt.length() - " android".length(), spanTxt.length(), 0 );

        //make click and url to work.

        view.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

        view.setText(spanTxt, BufferType.SPANNABLE);

    }

Output:

 Note: You can also use SpannableString in place of SpannableStringBuilder.
