    <p>Most probably you've read up on <code>SpannableStringBuilder</code>, which allows you to add color to the text in your TextView's content. Check out the code below:</p> <pre><code>SpannableStringBuilder ssb = new SpannableStringBuilder(&lt;your text&gt;); ForegroundColorSpan fcs = new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.rgb(255, 0, 0)); ssb.setSpan(fcs, 0, ssb.length, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); textView.setText(ssb); </code></pre> <p>The code above will work in most cases, however what you want is to have different alternating colors on a single TextView. Then you should do the following:</p> <pre><code>String text = your_text + text_from_database; SpannableStringBuilder ssb = new SpannableStringBuilder(text); ForegroundColorSpan fcs = new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.rgb(255, 0, 0)); ForegroundColorSpan fcs2 = new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.rgb(0, 255 0)); ssb.setSpan(fcs, 0, your_text, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); ssb.setSpan(fcs2, your_text.length(), ssb.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); textView.setText(ssb); </code></pre> <p>The above code will now work, but you'll notice that if you add another text <code>your_another_text</code> and want to use the previous <code>fcs</code> instance for a second time, the previously colored <code>your_text</code> will now lose its formatting (color). This time you'll need to create another ForegroundColorSpan fcs3 to format the third part of the SpannableStringBuilder. The key here is to use a character style in a <code>setSpan</code> method only once. See below:</p> <pre><code>String testTest = "abcdefgh"; String testTest2 = "ijklmnop"; String testTest3 = "qrstuvwxyz"; SpannableStringBuilder ssb = new SpannableStringBuilder(testTest+testTest2+testTest3); ForegroundColorSpan fcs = new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.rgb(255, 0, 0)); ForegroundColorSpan fcs2 = new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.rgb(0, 255, 0)); ForegroundColorSpan fcs3 = new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.rgb(255, 0, 0)); ssb.setSpan(fcs, 0, testTest.length(), Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE); ssb.setSpan(fcs2, testTest.length(), (testTest+testTest2).length(), Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE); ssb.setSpan(fcs3, (testTest+testTest2).length(), ssb.length(), Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE); test.setText(ssb); </code></pre> <p>This method is good if you know you have a fixed number of String elements in your SpannableStringBuilder. If you have wish to have a TextView of dynamic length and number of elements, you need to do this in a different approach. What worked for me was to convert each string element into a SpannableString, use <code>setSpan</code>, and <code>append</code> it to the TextView. This is useful if you're using a loop to build your TextView.</p> <pre><code>TextView test = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.test); String testTest = "abcdefgh"; String testTest2 = "ijklmnop"; String testTest3 = "qrstuvwxyz"; SpannableString ssb = new SpannableString(testTest); ForegroundColorSpan fcs = new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.rgb(255, 0, 0)); ForegroundColorSpan fcs2 = new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.rgb(0, 255, 0)); ForegroundColorSpan fcs3 = new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.rgb(255, 0, 0)); ssb.setSpan(fcs, 0, ssb.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); test.setText(ssb); SpannableString ssb2 = new SpannableString(testTest2); ssb2.setSpan(fcs2, 0, ssb2.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); test.append(ssb2); SpannableString ssb3 = new SpannableString(testTest3); ssb3.setSpan(fcs3, 0, ssb3.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); test.append(ssb3); </code></pre>

    1. COToday finally to the part of my program that will use this. To make it more clear of what I'm doing. I'm taking one long text string and insert edittexts into it and those edittexts will have the different color. The text string is store in a database while the edittext working on them but want to pull them from a string but only found a way to convert them into a string array instead of individual strings setup in string.xml. BTW the amount of edittext and where they fit into the text string will be dynamic. Having trouble telling the program where to put the edittext

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
