enable TextView's Spannable storage! by default Spannable storage in EditText is true.
so
TextView myTV = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
String textString = "StackOverFlow Rocks!!!";
Spannable spanText = Spannable.Factory.getInstance().newSpannable(textString);
spanText.setSpan(new BackgroundColorSpan(0xFFFFFF00), 14, 19, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
myTV.setText(spanText);
For TextView
You can use textView.setTextIsSelectable(true) in your activity or fragment or adapter.
