Individual line spacing for each line

Is it possible to define individual line spacings for each text line of a TextView?

Example:

TextView tv = new TextView(context);
tv.setText("line1\nline2\nline3");

The method setLineSpacing(float add, float mult) defines the line spacings for all text lines of the TextView. I would like to define another line spacing between line1 and line2 and a different line spacing between line2 and line3.

Any ideas how to do this ?

Does a spannable provide a solution ?

you can do these kind of specific styles to the textview using Html. Try this example,

tv.setText(Html.fromHtml("<h2>Text1</h2><br><p>Text2</p>"));

Different kind of tags allowed here are,

<a href="...">
<b>
<big>
<blockquote>
<br>
<cite>
<dfn>
<div align="...">
<em>
<font size="..." color="..." face="...">
<h1>
<h2>
<h3>
<h4>
<h5>
<h6>
<i>
<img src="...">
<p>
<small>
<strike>
<strong>
<sub>
<sup>
<tt>
<u>
