How to write subscript under superscript in xml?

Question

I am working with android textview. I need print subscript under superscript.

This is my code:

<string name="abc">Text<sup>supertext</sup><sub>subtext</sub></string>

And this is what i get:

Text^suertext_subtext

But i need something like:

Is it possible to do that only in XML without using java?

I forgot to ask if it is possible to do that without java... I am sorry... — Juraj Majerech, Jan 05 '17 at 20:31
Not really. It's just HTML; in order to do this with plain old HTML you'd have to mess with CSS to do it, and even then, ew. I think you'd be better off creating a custom control of some sort. — Dave Newton, Jan 05 '17 at 20:34

You could use 2 text views. One with "Text" and next to it a multi line text view with "Supertext...".

However only do that if it's not strings that may ever be translated.

I haven't done this myself but couldn't you wrap them in a linear layout and pinch zoom the linear layout? – darrenp Jan 08 '17 at 16:51
