If you’re stuck on the highlighting text in a TextView part, here’s an example of that, borrowing heavily from Highlight Text in TextView or WebView.

public class Main extends Activity
{
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
  {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    TextView myTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.my_textview);
    myTextView.setText(myTextView.getText(), TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);
    Spannable text = (Spannable)myTextView.getText();
    text.setSpan(new BackgroundColorSpan(0xFFFFFF00), 0, text.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
    myTextView.setText(text);
  }
}

If instead, you just want to set the background color of the TextView, take a look at android TextView: setting the background color dynamically doesn't work.
