Is it possible to have multiple Typefaces in the s

Question

I know how to change text attributes and color for a TextView, but is it possible to have multiple Typefaces in the same TextView?
For instance, can I use both Droid Sans and Droid Mono in the same TextView at the same time?

If so, how?

Actually it looks like you can do it with the help of a Spannable:

String text = "This is an example";

Spannable s = new SpannableString(text + " text");
s.setSpan(new TypefaceSpan("monospace"), 0, text.length(),
            Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
s.setSpan(new TypefaceSpan("serif"), text.length(), s.length(),
            Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

((TextView)findViewById(R.id.my_text_view)).setText(s);
