I think you cannot set TextView inside EditText. But alternatively you can make it look that way. Here are the steps

1. convert textview to BitmapDrawable
2. convert bitmap drawable into SpanableString (ImageSpan)
3. then set this returned SpannableString to your EditText

I have recently completed this kind of ui and i have explained in my blog Making GoSmsPro/Evernote like EditText
