Set different text size in Android TextView

I have one TextView with only 1 line of text. Now I have to put an extra line to set the state of the user. So I set the property android:lines="2"

the textview looks like:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/providerName"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="1.0"
    android:ellipsize="marquee"
    android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"
    android:lines="2"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
    android:textStyle="bold" />

The way I add the text is like:

mNameAndStatus.setText(providerNameText +  "\n" + mUserStatus);

Image how is actually.

enter image description here

The problem is that the first lines must me in Large text, but the second line must be medium or small and I don't know if is it possible.

How can I achieve this?

try

String asHtml = firstLine+"<br/><small>"+secondLine+"</small>";
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(asHtml));

or simply use Spannable (AbsoluteSizeSpan)

You need to do something like this :

mNameAndStatus.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 24);

where your text size is given in sp (24sp in the example).

Here are all TypedValues http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/TypedValue.html
