Android XML Textview Bold

Below are my codes, I'm trying to set Bold to my XML file using an XML Parser DOM. Can anyone please tell me how it is done? I just want my "Title :" to be bold.

textview.setText(textview.getText() + "<b>Title :</b> " //This line
                            + getValue("title", eElement) + "\n" + "\n");

                    textview.setText(textview.getText() + "Description : "
                            + getValue("description", eElement) + "\n" + "\n");

                    textview.setText(textview.getText() + "Link : "
                            + getValue("link", eElement) + "\n" + "\n");

                    textview.setText(textview.getText() + "Date : "
                            + getValue("date", eElement) + "\n" + "\n" + "\n"
                            + "\n");

What you are missing is to tell the textview to convert from HTML.

so change it to textview.setText(Html.fromHtml(yourtext));

EDIT: If you have Problems with adding the resulting charSequence to your existing text, use:

Html.fromHtml(yourtext).toString()

You cannot concatinate it simply as you did it, because Html.fromHtml() returns a charSequence, not a String

Setting the style in the layout file will result in ALL the text being bold, italic, wahtsoever

You can do that directly in the textView tag Do this:

android:textStyle="bold"

use this ,

  textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC); or
  textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);

using html,

tetview.setText(Html.fromHtml(somestring));
