Multiple styles inside a TextView

[gem gaurav]

hi,

i want to put large text inside textView. The text has multiple section with multiple colours. i have seen Html.fromHtml() function and also know how to use setSpan(). But any of these not work for me. In my case i dont know the id of text View at runtime. As i am inflating different Views at runtime each View has many textViews. It will be better if i can find a way to set styles in strings.

Please some one help me out i have spend so much time here.

It would help if you posted some of the code you tried - ItDoesntWorkIsUseless. I have successfully used setSpan() to apply formatting to text items. Post both the layout you used and the code that calls setSpan.
