Question

Can I span a textview to make some part bold in the layout itself. I have around 20 xml files. I am not using any activity for them, so I cannot do it programatically. So is there a way to specify it in xml layout itself. I have already tried using between them but it doesn’t works.

android:text="Lets look how to make <b> negative sentences <b> in simple present tense."

doesn’t work.
