Solution

  • You have just to find the word's first and last word place in whole sentence String, then use this code to underline that something like:

    SpannableString content = new SpannableString("joe was a sick");
content.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), 4, 6, spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
label.setText(content);

    NOTE: in this example 4 and 6 are hard coded, You can find start and end points by using some looping and comparing methods upon sentence String
