Android string colors

Question

Is it possible to change the color of some of the characters in a string in Android? For example change the color of the letters d and r in the word android to green.

<TextView android:id="@+id/word" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:typeface="monospace" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="" android:textSize="30pt"/>

I'm just using the XML TextView such the one I inserted above in the main question. I display the text in the main code using word.setText("Android") but I need to change some of the characters to different colors. — zataar

You could initialize the TextView with html instead of plain text. The html could define the text spans with colors. See Set TextView text from html-formatted string resource in XML for how.

In case you don't want to use html you can use SpannableString.
