Assigning text color to text in EditText

Question

How do I assign a different color to text in EditText by extending it?

Answer 1

you can change the text color by adding android:textColor like this:

<EditText     android:id="@+id/editText1"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:textColor="#f00" /> 

Answer 2

use spans:

TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.mytextview01); Spannable WordtoSpan = new SpannableString("partial colored text");         WordtoSpan.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.BLUE), 2, 4, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); textView.setText(WordtoSpan);
