Answer 1

[edit] misunderstood the question... I doubt it can be done like you want it to be done. I would suggest to do your username above the content in a single line..

Answer 2

Have you tried a TableLayout?

Answer 3

This is kind of a cheap way to do it, but you could palce two text boxes on top of each other and append the contents to have as many spaces as the user name so essentially you would have:

String usrName = "Username";
String contentText = "";
for(int i = 0; int < usrName.length; i++) {
     contentText = contentText  + " ";
}

contentText = contentText + "The content I want";
TV1.setText(usrName);
TYV2.setText(contentText);

I solved similar Problems by Using: TV1.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b><font color=#ff0000> Username" +"</font></b> content content content content"));
