Remarks

Span that allows setting the style of the text it's attached to. Possible styles are: Typeface#NORMAL, Typeface#BOLD, Typeface#ITALIC and Typeface#BOLD_ITALIC.

Note that styles are cumulative -- if both bold and italic are set in separate spans, or if the base style is bold and a span calls for italic, you get bold italic. You can't turn off a style from the base style.

For example, the StyleSpan can be used like this:

SpannableString string = new SpannableString("Bold and italic text");
            string.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD), 0, 4, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
            string.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.ITALIC), 9, 15, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
