Is there a way to italicize certain words when displaing it in a TextView on Android?

My Android app is displaying text in a TextView.

Are there any tags or anything to put around words that I want italicized? I don't need to set the TextView as italics because the whole sentence would be that way, and I only need specific words italicized.

  • You need to use a Spannable: see Is there any example about Spanned and Spannable text for an example.
