in my android application i have a string that contains a specific word so i want to display whole string in text view and the specific word should be highlighted.Hope following image will give you an idea.
I have used following code to do this but its not working.
CODE:
con is my string and groupNameContent is the text field.
con.replaceAll(arrGroupelements[groupPosition][5],"<font color='#CA278C'>"+arrGroupelements[groupPosition][5]+"</font>.");
groupNameContent.setText(Html.fromHtml(con));
for each word, you can use:
TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.mytextview01);
//use a loop to change text color
Spannable WordtoSpan = new SpannableString("partial colored text");
WordtoSpan.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.BLUE), 2, 4, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
textView.setText(WordtoSpan);
If I can understand you have the list of words and you want to find this words in text and highlight them so in this answer you have three input parameter:
- full text.
- yourList
yourTextview to show the result text
String text = "full of your text";
Spannable textSpannable = new SpannableString(text);
for (int j =0 ; j<yourList.size() ; j++) {
//word of your list
String word = String.valueOf(yourList.get(j));
//find index of words
for (int i = -1; (i = text.indexOf(word, i + 1)) != -1; i++) {
//find the length of word for set color
int last = i + word.length();
//set text color with spannable
textSpannable.setSpan(new BackgroundColorSpan(Color.parseColor("#0cab8f")),
i, last, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
}
}
yourTextView.setText(textSpannable);
