Answer 1

I am bit late to answer, but I created a method for easy use by using answer already provided here.

    private void setSpanString(String string1, String string2, TextView textView) {
    SpannableStringBuilder builder=new SpannableStringBuilder();
    SpannableString txtSpannable= new SpannableString(string1);
    StyleSpan boldSpan = new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD);
    txtSpannable.setSpan(boldSpan, 0, string1.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
    builder.append(txtSpannable);
    builder.append(string2);
   textView.setText(builder, TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);
}
