I think you can use this for your situation.

you first define a string with it.

val mystring = getString(
                    R.string.meter_reading_dialog_message,
                    toCurrentReading,
                    toPreviousReading,
                    toConsumption
                )

After that, you can set bold value like in this example.

You can use this method.

fun boldText(text: String) : String {
  return Html.fromHtml(text)
}


println(boldText("<b>This text bold.</b> This text normal."))

output=> This text bold. This text normal.
