TextView with different sizes

In my layout, I have defined a TextView and have given it the id - textName.

Programmatically, I have set its text to My name is Blah. I was wondering if it is possible to programmatically increase the textsize of just Blah and not the whole TextView?

Or simply using the Spannable class:

String text = textView.getText();
Spannable span = new SpannableString(text);
span.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(1.5f), text.indexOf("Blah"), text.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
textView.setText(span);

Yes!! you can do by formatting the string with HTML, refer https://stackoverflow.com/a/1533512/603233

like eg

String text = "<h5>My name is </h5><h1>Blah</h1>";
yourtextview.setText(Html.fromHtml(text));
