I've a textArea with grow limit "2" and alignment "center". I need to hightlight the "Quick Booking" text of the following textArea differently ie. in color, size etc. Since the textArea is aligned center, this hightlighted text may appear anywhere as per the device width. How can I do that?



TextArea ta = new TextArea("Need urgent fix for your car ? We will get to you asap Quick Booking");
ta.setUIID("small");
ta.setEditable(false);
ta.setGrowByContent(true);
ta.setGrowLimit(2);
ta.getAllStyles().setAlignment(Label.CENTER);


How It is now...



enter image description here



How it should be...

          That isn't supported. One option is to use a BrowserComponent for this element and format it with HTML. Another is to use a rich text view such as this: https://www.codenameone.com/blog/tip-lightweight-rich-text-view.html

          I saw the stack question where it was solved. I didn't find it now otherwise I'd have shared the link. It works though.



          homeContainer.add(FlowLayout.encloseCenter(lbl1, new Label("urgent"), new Label("fix"), new Label(" for"), new Label("your"), new Label("car? "), new Label("We"), new Label("will"), new Label("get"), new Label("to"), new Label("you"), new Label("asap "), clickable));
