Can underline words in TextView text

Yes, you can, use the Html.fromhtml() method:

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("this is <u>underlined</u> text"));

tobeunderlined= <u>some text here which is to be underlined</u> 

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("some string"+tobeunderlined+"somestring"));

Define a string as:

<resources>
    <string name="your_string">This is an <u>underline</u> text demo for TextView.</string>
</resources>

You can use UnderlineSpan from SpannableString class:

SpannableString content = new SpannableString(<your text>);
content.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), 0, content.length(), 0);

Then just use textView.setText(content);
