Coloring a substring in a SpanLabel Codename one

It seems SpanLabel label = new SpanLabel("<html>Text color: <font color='red'>red</font></html>"); doesn't work in the SpanLabel of Codename One, and label.getAllStyles().setFgColor(0x0000ff); is not my case, I want to get the same result of the first example, coloring a specific word. How to do it in Codename One?

We don't support that. This would mean parsing HTML for every widget which is something Swing can do because it has desktop processing power but doing this on a mobile phone would be painfully slow.

You have two option:

  • Use BrowserComponent and HTML - this makes sense if you have a larger body of text but won't work well for many smaller entries

  • Use something like this
