Hello,
I am trying to create a method to format my text so that I can have colored text in my TextView elements.
This is my method and how I call it:

Any ideas why it only returns with a single span instead of 2?

Java:
setSpanBetweenTokens("NORMAL, ##COLORED##, NORMAL, ##COLORED##", "##", new ForegroundColorSpan(0xFFFF0000))
public static CharSequence setSpanBetweenTokens(CharSequence text, String token, CharacterStyle... cs)
{
// Start and end refer to the points where the span will apply
int tokenLen = token.length(); //2
int start = text.toString().indexOf(token) + tokenLen; //Where the Token is + it's length = where the text begins.
int end = text.toString().indexOf(token, start); //Find the next token that comes after the last one.
// Copy the spannable string to a mutable spannable string
SpannableStringBuilder ssb = new SpannableStringBuilder(text);
while (start > -1 && end > -1) {
for (CharacterStyle c : cs) {
ssb.setSpan(c, start, end, 33);
}
// Delete the tokens before and after the span
ssb.delete(end, end + tokenLen);
ssb.delete(start - tokenLen, start);
start = ssb.toString().indexOf(token) + tokenLen;
end = ssb.toString().indexOf(token, start);
}
return ssb;
}Any ideas why it only returns with a single span instead of 2?
