Different font size of strings in the same TextView

People also ask

Which method is used to change the text size of the TextView?

To use preset sizes to set up the autosizing of TextView programmatically, call the setAutoSizeTextTypeUniformWithPresetSizes(int[] presetSizes, int unit) method. Provide an array of sizes and any TypedValue dimension unit for the size.

What is SpannableString?

↳ android.text.SpannableString. This is the class for text whose content is immutable but to which markup objects can be attached and detached.

Can we change the text in TextView?

TextView tv1 = (TextView)findViewById(R. id. textView1); tv1. setText("Hello"); setContentView(tv1);

Which attribute increase or decrease the font size of TextView?

app:autoSizeMinTextSize=”10sp” using this attribute the TextView will be resized up to the size of 10sp and app:autoSizeStepGranularity=”2sp” using this attribute we are uniformly reducing the size of the TextView as 2sp when it goes out of the screen.


Use a Spannable String

 String s= "Hello Everyone";
 SpannableString ss1=  new SpannableString(s);
 ss1.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(2f), 0,5, 0); // set size
 ss1.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 0, 5, 0);// set color
 TextView tv= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview);
 tv.setText(ss1);

You can split string using space and add span to the string you require.

 String s= "Hello Everyone";  
 String[] each = s.split(" ");

Now apply span to the string and add the same to textview.


Just in case you're wondering how you can set multiple different sizes in the same textview, but using an absolute size and not a relative one, you can achieve that using AbsoluteSizeSpan instead of a RelativeSizeSpan.

Just get the dimension in pixels of the desired text size

int textSize1 = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.text_size_1);
int textSize2 = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.text_size_2);

and then create a new AbsoluteSpan based on the text

String text1 = "Hi";
String text2 = "there";

SpannableString span1 = new SpannableString(text1);
span1.setSpan(new AbsoluteSizeSpan(textSize1), 0, text1.length(), SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE);

SpannableString span2 = new SpannableString(text2);
span2.setSpan(new AbsoluteSizeSpan(textSize2), 0, text2.length(), SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE);

// let's put both spans together with a separator and all
CharSequence finalText = TextUtils.concat(span1, " ", span2);

You can get this done using html string and setting the html to Textview using
txtView.setText(Html.fromHtml("Your html string here"));

For example :

txtView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<html><body><font size=5 color=red>Hello </font> World </body><html>"));`

Method 1

public static void increaseFontSizeForPath(Spannable spannable, String path, float increaseTime) {
    int startIndexOfPath = spannable.toString().indexOf(path);
    spannable.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(increaseTime), startIndexOfPath,
            startIndexOfPath + path.length(), 0);
}

using

Utils.increaseFontSizeForPath(spannable, "big", 3); // make "big" text bigger 3 time than normal text

enter image description here

Method 2

public static void setFontSizeForPath(Spannable spannable, String path, int fontSizeInPixel) {
    int startIndexOfPath = spannable.toString().indexOf(path);
    spannable.setSpan(new AbsoluteSizeSpan(fontSizeInPixel), startIndexOfPath,
            startIndexOfPath + path.length(), 0);
}

using

Utils.setFontSizeForPath(spannable, "big", (int) textView.getTextSize() + 20); // make "big" text bigger 20px than normal text

enter image description here


private SpannableStringBuilder SpannableStringBuilder(final String text, final char afterChar, final float reduceBy) {
        RelativeSizeSpan smallSizeText = new RelativeSizeSpan(reduceBy);
        SpannableStringBuilder ssBuilder = new SpannableStringBuilder(text);
        ssBuilder.setSpan(
                smallSizeText,
                text.indexOf(afterChar),
                text.length(),
                Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE
        );

        return ssBuilder;
    }
------------------------
TextView textView =view.findViewById(R.id.textview);
String s= "123456.24";
textView.setText(SpannableStringBuilder(s, '.', 0.7f));

---------------- Result ---------------

Result :

12345.24


The best way to do that is Html without substring your text and fully dynamique For example :

  public static String getTextSize(String text,int size) {
         return "<span style=\"size:"+size+"\" >"+text+"</span>";

    }

and you can use color attribut etc... if the other hand :

size.setText(Html.fromHtml(getTextSize(ls.numProducts,100) + " " + mContext.getString(R.string.products));  

Try spannableStringbuilder. Using this we can create string with multiple font sizes.
