Spannable strings are a very good way to use different styling in a single string. try exploring its different functions.

i'm stuck with spannable strings it's done with text view but in my situation i don't know how to do it will you help me just to begin with it – Truck Whale May 14 '14 at 09:22
there is [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4669464/select-all-text-inside-edittext-when-it-gets-focus) option available, but it selects all the text, but you do not want that. So its better if you use the hint and send all the information in the background. That is because if you select some text, then the selection menu (cut-copy-paste) above will be shown, and you would not want that. – Rushil Soin May 14 '14 at 11:11

You can make it highlighted by the Toast option in android

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), (String)data.result, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
