You can use this to highlight all the keywords.

 button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {      
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {

        String ett = edittext.getText().toString();
        String tvt = textview.getText().toString();
        int ofe = tvt.indexOf(ett, 0);
        Spannable spannable = new SpannableString(tvt);

        for (int ofs = 0; ofs < tvt.length() && ofe != -1; ofs = ofe + 1) {
        ofe = tvt.indexOf(ett, ofs);

                if (ofe == -1)
                    break;
                else {
                  ColorStateList blueColor = new ColorStateList(new nt[][] { new int[] {} }, new int[] { Color.BLUE });
                  TextAppearanceSpan highlightSpan = new TextAppearanceSpan(null, Typeface.BOLD, -1, blueColor, null);
                  spannable.setSpan(highlightSpan, ofe, ofe+edittext.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
                  textview.setText(spannable);
                }
            }
        }
    });
