Highlighting Text Color using Html.fromHtml() in Android?

Or far simpler than dealing with Spannables manually, since you didn't say that you want the background highlighted, just the text:

String styledText = "This is <font color='red'>simple</font>.";
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(styledText), TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);

Using color value from xml resource:

int labelColor = getResources().getColor(R.color.label_color);
String сolorString = String.format("%X", labelColor).substring(2); // !!strip alpha value!!

Html.fromHtml(String.format("<font color=\"#%s\">text</font>", сolorString), TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE); 

This can be achieved using a Spannable String. You will need to import the following

import android.text.SpannableString; 
import android.text.style.BackgroundColorSpan; 
import android.text.style.StyleSpan;

And then you can change the background of the text using something like the following:

TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text_login);
text.setText("");
text.append("Add all your funky text in here");
Spannable sText = (Spannable) text.getText();
sText.setSpan(new BackgroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 1, 4, 0);

Where this will highlight the charecters at pos 1 - 4 with a red color. Hope this helps!

 String name = modelOrderList.get(position).getName();   //get name from List
    String text = "<font color='#000000'>" + name + "</font>"; //set Black color of name
    /* check API version, according to version call method of Html class  */
    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
        Log.d(TAG, "onBindViewHolder: if");
        holder.textViewName.setText(context.getString(R.string._5687982) + " ");
        holder.textViewName.append(Html.fromHtml(text));
    } else {
        Log.d(TAG, "onBindViewHolder: else");
        holder.textViewName.setText("123456" + " ");   //set text 
        holder.textViewName.append(Html.fromHtml(text, Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY));   //append text into textView
    }
