Please include the physical code as opposed to a screenshot of it on StackOverflow, this is much more useful for those who want to try helping and thereby for you as well. Surround your code block with ``` on either side for it to render as a code sample in your post. — chris

It's simple, you can achieve multicolor text using a Spannable string.

To know more how to do it, check this developer blog https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/spantastic-text-styling-with-spans-17b0c16b4568
