Color part of string in textView in XML

I am trying to display some text in a TextView with @string, the problem is i cant seem to be able to change the color of part of the text. I dont want to use Java to do this as all other questions suggest, since this is the default TextView text.

I've tried using <string name="myString"><font color="#00ff00">My String</font></string> and font fgcolor="#00ff00" but they dont seem to work.

I've tried with your given string and it is works for me. Here is an example

  • Create <TextView> inside any layout

    <TextView android:id="@+id/textView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/text" />

  • Create text string inside strings.xml file

    <string name="text"><font color="#00ff00">Hello</font> <font color="#FF0000">World</font></string>

  • And you can see the result

    enter image description here

Your font color is working for me, Note you have missed the closing tag of the string(the backslash to close the string)

<string name="myString"><font color="#00ff00">My String in green</font> and normal</string>

If this doesn't help, Whats the android version you are testing this
