TextView make part of text not bold

Question

I have a TextView title. I need it showing half of text bold and other half not bold. The way I set it is shown below:

category.getName() -- > Bold "urinary tract infection" ---->not bold

 title.setText(category.getName()+ "\n(urinary tract infection)");

How do I achieve this?

By using HTML, check [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2116162/how-to-display-html-in-textview) — Dominique Lorre, Sep 15 '16 at 19:41
did this : title.setText(Html.fromHtml(""+serviceName+"")+"\n(urinary tract infection)"); did not work — Ackman, Sep 15 '16 at 19:53
title.setText(Html.fromHtml(""+serviceName+"\n(ur‌inary tract infection)")); -- if the /n is for a new line you can do -- title.setText(Html.fromHtml(""+serviceName+"
(ur‌inary tract infection)")); — Tasos, Sep 15 '16 at 19:56

You can try formatting you TextView using HTML.

title.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>"+category.getName()+ "</b>\n(urinary tract infection)"));
