Try this:

mTxtVw.setText(Html.fromHtml(text));

For this purpose you need a SpannableString. Here the documentation

Answer 3

try below code:-

TextView TV = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.mytextview01);

Spannable wordtoSpan = new SpannableString("hi how are you?");        

wordtoSpan.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.BLUE), 5, 10, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

TV.setText(wordtoSpan);
