Android TextView in BOLD and Normal text

You can format it like you would in HTML: let's call this custom_text

<b>Your title here</b>
This is the non-bolded stuff. 

And then load the text using the Html class:

mTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.custom_text)));

That will create a spannable string and set it on the TextView.

Use a Spannable String

 TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv);  
 String steps = "Hello Everyone";
 String title="Bold Please!";

 SpannableString ss1=  new SpannableString(title);
 ss1.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD), 0, ss1.length(), 0); 
 tv.append(ss1);
 tv.append("\n");
 tv.append(steps);

in your strings file

<string name="your_text">
<![CDATA[
<p> <b>Title</b> </p>
<p><b><i>Step 1</i></b><p>step1 content content content  content content content</p></p>
<p><b><i>Step 2</i></b><p>step2 content  content content content  content content content</p></p>
]]>
</string>

Then in your activity

        TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        tv.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.your_text)));

And output
