assuming you are using those strings for a textview, simply use the 'setTextColor(int)' method. Documentation: developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/…Urban– Urban2012-02-21 06:29:42 +00:00Commented Feb 21, 2012 at 6:29

Use spannable class to do this:
Spannable WordtoSpan = new SpannableString(myString);
WordtoSpan.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 0, myString.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

final CharSequence[] items = {
"Switch Off",
"Timer Settings",
Html.fromHtml("<font color=\"red\">Cancel</font>"),
};

Instead of string use TextView and change the background of it e.g
TextView tv;
tv.setText("yourText");
tv.setTextColor(Color.CYAN);
