Try to using Html format, Something like this:

 if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
        myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<p style='font-family: serif;'>Description here</p><br><p style='font-family: Times;'>Blah Blah Blah</p>", Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY));
    } else {
        myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<p style='font-family: serif;'>Description here</p><br><p style='font-family: Times;'>Blah Blah Blah</p>"));
    }

A dynamic way to acheive the same

    String name = shopsArrayList.get(position);
    String address = shopsAddress.get(position);

    int nameLength = name.length();
    int addressLength = address.length();
    Spannable span = new SpannableString(name+address);
    span.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD),0, nameLength,Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
    span.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.ITALIC),nameLength+1, addressLength,Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

now set the text to textview

textView.setText(span);

You can first set style for that

<style name="firstStyle">
    <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/regular_text</item>
</style>
<style name="secondStyle">
    <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/bullet_text</item>
</style>

Then you have to make a single string from those two string of yours and specify the length of your string where you need to apply for effect.

SpannableString span = new SpannableString(myString);

span.setSpan(new TextAppearanceSpan(getContext(), R.style.firstStyle),0,15, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
span.setSpan(new TextAppearanceSpan(getContext(), R.style.secondStyle),16,30, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

tv.setText(span, TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);

You can do that easily using SpannableString.

See this example:

String str= "Hello World";
SpannableString spannable=  new SpannableString(str);
spannable.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(1.5f), 0, 5, 0); //size
spannable.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.CYAN), 0, 5, 0);//Color
TextView txtview= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview);
txtview.setText(spannable);

Hope this helps.

Put the second string into a Span that allows you to change the style of the text, such as a TextAppearanceSpan. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/style/TextAppearanceSpan.html
