How to show message in bold and break line in AlertDialog box Android

Question

I want to show message of AlertDialog in two separate lines and text in one line in bold style and in next line simple text (without any style).

Now If I am performing break line with bold text , lines are break'd but text is not showing bold. Why ? can anyone help me.

Code :

AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    alertDialog.setTitle("Alert");
    Spanned s1 = Html.fromHtml("<b>" + "Text in Bold"+ "</b>");
    String s2 = "Normal Text";
    alertDialog.setMessage(s1+ "\n" + s2);
AlertDialog dialog = alertDialog.create();
dialog.show();

Use SpannableStringBuilder instead of string, that may help you — Bethan, Dec 23 '16 at 12:03

Use \n to break the line.

AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
alertDialog.setTitle("Alert");
String s1 = "<b>" + "Text in Bold"+ "</b>";
String s2 = "Normal Text";
Spanned strMessage = Html.fromHtml(s1+  "\n" + s2);
alertDialog.setMessage(strMessage);
AlertDialog dialog = alertDialog.create();
dialog.show();
