How can I set the background color of text inside the edittext by programmatically, or Can we set different textColor for text in the same edittext at a time, which means if I have a text in my editText1 like "Joe and 10 more", and can I set blue color for Joe and black for other words.

Thanks in advance for any help and sorry for my english :)

Try this : EditText.getBackground().setColorFilter(Color.RED, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP); – Haresh Chhelana Jan 02 '15 at 06:31
