android - Using size HTML attribute in TextView

Question

I have the following:

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<font color="red" size="24">Hello</font>"));

The string 'Hello' does turn red but the size does not change.

It is as if the size attribute is just ignored, does anyone know why this is? Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Size attribute seems not working.

You can use <small> or <big> (multiple times to increase the effect)

You can also use <h1> to <h6> (Header only, i.e. add a new line)

Its old-fashion, but it works well !
