Try this.

mLink.setText(Html.fromHtml("<font color=\"#FF0000\"> Click here " + "</font>" + "for the latest news!"));

You can format the String with html's font-color property then pass it to the method

Html.fromHtml(your text here)

String text = "<font color=#cc0029>First Color</font> <font 
color=#ffcc00>Second Color</font>";
yourtextview.setText(Html.fromHtml(text));

Don't forget to escape userinput using Html.escapeHtml(str)
