This is example.

String source = "This is example text";
Spannable out = new SpannedString(source);
StyleSpan boldSpan = new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD);
out.setSpan(boldSpan, 1, 3, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
out.setSpan(boldSpan, 9, 12, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

//someTextView.setText(out);

Expected result: This is example text (“hi” & “xam” are bold)

Actual result:      This is example text (works only last setSpan method and bold is only “xam”)

How to make multi spannable text? It’s possible?

Maybe problem is in Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE flag? Thanks.

    I think you need a new StyleSpan for each.

    String source = "This is example text";
Spannable out = new SpannedString(source);
StyleSpan boldSpan = new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD);
StyleSpan boldSpan2 = new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD);
out.setSpan(boldSpan, 1, 3, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
out.setSpan(boldSpan2, 9, 12, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

    Haven’t tried it out though.
