Because,

editText.getText() just returns Editable character sequence not a Html rich string.

user370305 Over a year ago

you can use editText.getTextColor() and make a custom Html rich text.

actually i am working on the rich text editor so part of the string in edittext having the color. so how can we do this.

For that you have to make custom rich text editor. Extend EditText as base class and implement some method which returns rich text which you want.

String sample=editText.getText();
TextView str = new TextView(null);
str.setText(sample);
str.setTextColor(Color.RED);
editText.setText(str.getText().tostring());

or use this

Html.fromHtml("<font color = #ffffff>"
                + getResources().getString(editText.getText().tostring()) + "</font>")

thank you.
