ForegroundColorSpan

public class ForegroundColorSpan
extends CharacterStyle implements UpdateAppearance, ParcelableSpan

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.text.style.CharacterStyle

Changes the color of the text to which the span is attached.

For example, to set a green text color you would create a SpannableString based on the text and set the span.

string.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(color), 12, 28, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
Set a text color.
