Thank you, again.
Most of my high-cost performance-sensitive stuff are run by the
Handler on threads other than the main UI thread, and when I asked
about Traceview in the past, someone told me "it is no good handling
threads but otherwise is a good debugging tool" so I dismissed it
without trying
Thanks for the comment. I agree. This is the reason why I liked
Zsolt Vasvari's code, and I did not change the RelativeSizeSpan to
AbsoluteSizeSpan. But you have to remember an absolute size in pixels
can get bigger or smaller depending on the displayed screen's density
(dpi), meaning AbsoluteSi

Use Traceview
Thanks!
I do believe this kind of curiosity, or inquisitive mind, is behind
every breakthroughs.
I might as well test if 1. or, 2.SizeSpan executes
faster. Hope applying after applying brings the size

i.e. using an html string like "199 km/h" seems
to work,
although you cannot specify the sizes exactly...
Just a quick note, specifying big / small or similar is considered better
than specific sizes in the world of accessibility since they refer to a size

Using spannables directly is certainly the better way to do it since the
supported html tags apparently are not clearly specified as Mark already
mentioned.
However, out of curiosity, I looked at the source of Html.java. So, just
for the sake of completeness: I found that apparently only suppo

Thanks for the comment, Ibendlin. I do agree, and do subscribe, to
"Less is more".
As this is not an appropriate venue to discuss the development process
of my app, let me just briefly outline how it went with regard to the

1. The elimination of "km/h" was considered and rejected as the
Now let me throw a spanner into your work. Do some UX testing (grab a few
people that haven't seen the app before) and present them with either of
two versions, one version with the big number and small "km/h" string, and
the other version with just the number. You will find that your app doesn'

It works!
Thanks a lot for sharing your insight :) :) :)My code look as
follows:
private static final float SMALL_TEXT_RELATIVE_SIZE = 0.6f;
public CharSequence setSpeedText(){
CharSequence text = "km/h";
SpannableStringBuilder smaller
Here's the code I use to make an arbitrary CharSequence "smaller"
private static final float SMALL_TEXT_RELATIVE_SIZE = 0.8f;
public static CharSequence makeSmaller(CharSequence text)
{
SpannableStringBuilder smaller = new SpannableStringBuilder(text);
smaller.setSpan(
Thanks.
I will play with SpannableString stuff with SizeSpan, and will post
here if something works.
I often get across your post as a solution to similar problems I'm

Almost who-hoo!

Thank you very much for the response. It almost worked.
Please check the following code if I implemented your method as you
