TextView showing price with digits after decimal point with smaller text size than the rest

Question

I need to show the price in the Android app. Design is such that text size of two digits after the decimal point is smaller than the rest of the text. I know I can achieve this with multiple TextView views but I'm wondering if anyone did it without the use of multiple views and how to do it.

TL;DR Price should be formatted like this: 5,oo USD (oo in this example represents two zeros as in zero cents with text size smaller than the number 5 which represents the number of dollars)

Try `SpannableString`, here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16335178/different-font-size-of-strings-in-the-same-textview — Shaishav, Aug 07 '20 at 10:53

You can use AbsoluteSizeSpan for your TextView

SpannableStringBuilder yourText = new SpannableStringBuilder("5.00 USD");
span.setSpan(new AbsoluteSizeSpan(fontsize, true), start, end,Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
yourTextView.setText(span)

You can find more information from developer webpage

You can Check the font face that it zeros are smaller that the rest of the digit and apply it.
