Bold words in a string of strings.xml in Android

Use html tag inside string resources :-

<resources>
<string name="string_resource_name"><![CDATA[<b> Your text </b>]]> </string>
</resources>

And get bold text from string resources like :-

private Spanned getSpannedText(String text) {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
            return Html.fromHtml(text, Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT);
        } else {
            return Html.fromHtml(text);
        }
    }


 String s = format(context.getResources().getString(R.string.string_resource_name));
 textView.setText(getSpannedText(s));

You could basically use html tags in your string resource like:

<resource>
    <string name="styled_welcome_message">We are <b><i>so</i></b> glad to see you.</string>
</resources>

And use Html.fromHtml or use spannable, check the link I posted.
