Android ListView Italic

I was wondering if it's possible to get the following output when using ListActivity:

Name - Age

Name - Age

etc.

So name normal and age italic.

I'm currently using the following code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/TextView01"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:textSize="20sp"
    android:textStyle="italic" >
</TextView>

And java:

FeedParser parser = new AndroidSaxFeedParser("http://www.example.com/test.xml");
messages = parser.parse();
List<String> titles = new ArrayList<String>(messages.size());
for (Message msg : messages){
     titles.add(msg.name+"\nAge: "+msg.age+"");
}
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.row, titles);
this.setListAdapter(adapter);

You could simply set HTML formatted text.

Have your string look like this Bob - <i>30</i>.

Either use two TextView widgets (one for age set to italic), or use a SpannedString with inline markup for the italics. One way to get the SpannedString is to use Html.fromHtml().
