In the below code which is for bluetooth messaging with arduino i am trying to change color on some static strings. 1.On the start button listener i have a message"Connection opened" which i am changing color using the xml file and creating there a string with specific color. This method works only there. 2. i tried another method with spannable string on the send button listener but is not working at all the message comes in black. what i want to to do is that when i send a message on my textview i see the "send data: "+ string(msg i send) and i want this send data to be red for examle and the same for the receive one. What i tried untill now is on the code.If there is any idea to try i will be grateful.
