Make a String text Bold in Java Android

I want to make Habit Number: bold , I tried the HTML tag but it didn't work. I did some research but couldn't find any. Hope someone is able to help me. Thanks!

String habitnumber = "Habit Number: " + String.valueOf(habitcounter);
String Title = habit.getTitle();
String description = habit.getDescription();


//Set text for the row
                tv.setText(habitnumber+ "\n" + Title + " \n" + description + "\n --------------------");

Use this in the XML file, inside the textview

android:textStyle="bold"

I think that you didnt wrap your string to Html.fromHtml

solution:

You can do it with HTML using html tag for bold: <b> 

 String habitnumber = "<b>" + "Habit Number: " + "</b> " + String.valueOf(habitcounter);
 tv.setText(Html.fromHtml(habitnumber ));

Like Gabe mentioned, try using the use Html.fromHtml or use spannable. Check this out: Selecting, Highlighting, or Styling Portions of Text

You could basically use html tags in your string resource like:

<resource>
<string id="@+id/styled_welcome_message"><b>your text</b></string>
</resources>
