  Html.fromHtml(r7.getText().toString()+"  m<sup><small>2</small></sup>")

but when writing it the text of textview give me this error:

Error:(104) Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token)

So how to solve this problem, please ???

please check my answer in this line Simply use SpannableString that will solve your problem.

 SpannableString styledString = new SpannableString("9-10th STD");
 styledString.setSpan(new SuperscriptSpan(), 4, 6, 0);
 textView.setText(styledString);

and put your android:textAllCaps="false"

According to http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource.html#FormattingAndStyling the only supported HTML markup is <u>, <i>, and <b>. To get sub- and superscripts, you'll probably need to use http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/style/SubscriptSpan.html and http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/style/SuperscriptSpan.html .
