Changing text within textview

Question

So is it possible to change text size of part of the text in textview dynamically Let's say we have a method that does that...what am I missing...I want to make x variable twice as big as y...they are string btw...

private void Data_transfer() {

    test3.setText( x + "   " + y);
    }

You can use the Spannable type with a TextView to set multiple styles in one field.

In your case, you can do this like so, using the fromHtml() method which generates a Spannable string:

test3.setText( Html.fromHtml( "<font size='10'>" + x + "</font>   <font size='5'>" + y + "</font>" ) );

And you can, of course, change 10 and 5 to whatever values you like.
