how to set upper small text in android TextView?

Question

I want to add small upper text in android textView

how would you implement this?

two textViews both layout_below the same element and then

make the second smaller?

or is there a way in one textView to put style to one word

(can be longer or shorter in other languages)?

Answer 1

您可以通过以下代码来实现

((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text)).setText(Html.fromHtml("2580<sup>TH</sup>"));

Answer 2

Solution from Android Layout framework, would put two textViews in side a Linear layout and that is it.

Another way, is making the small text as an image. Than you can add it to text view directly.

Answer 3

you can do it like this:

((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text)).setText(Html.fromHtml("YourRank:250<sup>TH</sup>"));

also you can do it like this:

String str=getString(R.string.rank); //YourRank:250
String str2=getString(R.string.superScript); //TH
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text)).setText(Html.fromHtml("+str+"<sup>"+str2+"</sup>"));

it worked like charm!

Answer 4

You can use SpannableStringBuilder as fallows:

String text = "YourRank:250TH";

SpannableStringBuilder spannableString = new SpannableStringBuilder(text);
spannableString.setSpan(new SuperscriptSpan(), text.length() - 1, text.length(), Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

YourTextView.setText(spannableString);
