You can also do many thing like....Bold italic or showing in list using one Text view.

Write your text in HTML format. i.e

String youttext="<b>My Name is Avi</b><br><br> <i>I m a Android Developer</i><br><br><ul><li>I m a Blogger too</li></ul>"

Textview yourview=(Textview) findViewById(R.id.textview);
        yourview.setText(Html.fromHtml(youttext));

You can show the Text in HTML format too. If you want to change the specific color text and style or shading etc.
