You can use html for this.

for eg. A A A 

String abc="<font color=BLUE><i>A</i></font>";
abc=abc+"<b>A</b><i>A</i>";
textView.setText(Html.formHtml(abc));

You can set Any size of the text using the font tag and also set it's color..

This is the easiest way to do this;

Use SpannableStringBuilder like this:

SpannableStringBuilder spanTxt = new SpannableStringBuilder("Different");
spanTxt.append(" android.");
//make the textsize 2 times.
spanTxt.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(2f), spanTxt.length() - " android".length(), spanTxt.length(), 0  );
