Set styling text on TextView

Define your string resource (stylingtext) in /res/values/strings.xml, with styling markup.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources>

    <string name="hello">Hello World, AndroidStylingTextActivity!</string>

    <string name="app_name">AndroidStylingText</string>

    <string name="stylingtext">

    Styling Text:\n

    <i>Italic</i> <b>Bold</b> <monospace>Monospace</monospace>\n 

    <strike>Strike</strike> <sup>Superscript</sup> <sub>Subscript</sub> <u>Underline</u>\n

    <big><big><big>Big x 3 </big>Big x 2 </big>Big</big> <small>Small <small>Small x 2</small></small>

    </string>

</resources>

Then you can refer the string resource in your layout file, main.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:orientation="vertical"

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"

    android:layout_height="fill_parent"

    >

<TextView  

    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 

    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 

    android:text="@string/hello"

    />

<TextView  

    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 

    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 

    android:text="@string/stylingtext"

    />

</LinearLayout>
