How to make text in TextView different thickness and color?

Question

Android

I'm making an app similar to Instagram. It is necessary to make the text in the description of the post and in the comments non-uniform, that is, for example, the author's name is highlighted in bold (or in a different font), hashtags and user nicknames differ in color, like this

How to do it within one TextView and is it done like this at all way? How to recognize hashtags and nicknames of users in order to change their color later? How to make hashtags and nicknames of users clickable in order to go to the hashtag search or to the user profile?

For hashtags, you can also use a ready-made library, for example this one . See this for formatting text .
