Android Question Set part of the label text to bold

[Alex_197]

Hi all.

My question is - how to set part of the label text to bold?

Let say I have a label text such as

Client Name
Client address
Client Type

So I need to show only Client Name in bold and rest of the text is Normal.

Is it possible?

Thanks.

Be safe.

Hey Alex: Check out CSBuilder, perfect for that. it is built into core lib. If you have trouble, post your code and there is a lot of helping hands in the forum

See: CSBuilder Tutorial
Something such as

    Dim poCS As CSBuilder
    poCS.Initialize
    poCS.Bold.Append("Bob Smith").Pop.Append(" - 1234 North Anywhere - ").Append("Yourtown 12345")
    Label1.Text = poCS

Here is another example along with the example that Jeffrey offered. They both give you a different flavor of what you can do with CSBuilder.

Dim cs As CSBuilder
    cs.Initialize.Size(30).Typeface(Typeface.SANS_SERIF).Image(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "brazil.png"), 60dip, 60dip, False)
    cs.Append("    Football").pop.Typeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD).Append(" IS KING")
    cs.PopAll
    Label1.Text = cs

CSBuilder is a good option.

Another option is to use BCTextEngine:

Sub Globals
    Private BBCodeView1 As BBCodeView
    Private TextEngine As BCTextEngine
    Private xui As XUI
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    TextEngine.Initialize(Activity)
    Activity.Color = xui.Color_White
    BBCodeView1.Text = $"[b]Client Name[/b]
Client address
Client Type
"$
End Sub
