how to set red color to the text view in android

Question

String records = "<font color='red'>"+edittext.getText().toString()+"</font>.";

textView.setText("Total Records to be SYNC : "+Html.fromHtml(records) +"\nDo you want sync all records...!", TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);

here its not displayed in red color

Recently, I have had to work with text that was bold in between or different colored. I found SpannableStringBuilder to be really really helpful and easy.

A variation using just standard color code:

android:textColor="#ff0000"

Add it in XML of TEXTVIEW

or use

textview.setTextColor(color);

SpannableStringBuilder builder = new SpannableStringBuilder();

String red = edittext.getText().toString();
SpannableString redSpannable= new SpannableString(red);
redSpannable.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 0, red.length(), 0);
builder.append(redSpannable);

mTextView.setText("Total Records to be SYNC : "+builder+"\nDo you want sync all records...!", BufferType.SPANNABLE);

You can do with following code, I have tested and It's working perfect.

String value1 = "Total Records to be SYNC : ";
String value2 = "\nDo you want sync all records...!";
String valueFromEdittext = edittext.getText().toString();
String finalValue = value1 + valueFromEdittext + value2;
Spannable WordtoSpan = new SpannableString(finalValue);
WordtoSpan.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), value1.length(), (value1 + valueFromEdittext).length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
mTextView.setText(WordtoSpan);
