Set the TextView's layout_width to wrap_content, then the background will only be as lasrge as the content.

use SpannableString class

here is example

String btnText = btn.getText();
SpannableString spannableSummary = new SpannableString(btnText);
spannableSummary.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(0xff6083f0), 0, summary.length(), 0);

btn.setText(btnText);

You can use

String text = "This is <font color='blue'>blue</font>. This is <font color='red'>red</font>.";
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(text), TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);
