How can I implement an editor with font styles, sizes and colors in Android. And how can I save the note and open it after creating the note with all these styles.
Why don't you store it as HTML? :) Simple as that.
if you want to complicate it a bit, you should store all Spannable data as XML and while parse it and restore the styles when displaying it back.

I want to ask you if it's possible to create formatted text like
This text is normal and this one is bold. We also have an italic font slope.
in this way:
graphics.DrawString("This text is normal and this one is bold. We also have an italic font slope.", font, PdfBrushes.Black, new PointF(0, 0));
I tried to use order the documentation a HTML Styled Text (https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/pdf/working-with-text#adding-a-html-styled-text) but PdfHTMLTextElement Class is not supported in Xamarin.
A next choice was to insert RTF text (https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/pdf/working-with-text#inserting-rich-text-format-contents) it's also impossible to use that in Xamarin.
I'd also to have a formatted string inside a cells of PdfLightTable. Have you any tips how to achieve this?
I'd appreciate your help very much.
At present the PdfHTMLTextElement is not supported in Xamarin platform. In order to achieve your requirement, we have created the workaround sample for applying style to the text based on HTML tags.
Please find the

Thanks.
I'm working on story application pjoject for android. The story text is in the database/db file. I used textView and the text is working good on the application but it's not justified. Is there a way to justify the text from database file, or link to that tutorial?
Setting text in db won't have any styling impact on text itself. You can use third-party lib to justify your text in android.

In order to use it, you'll need to use their com.bluejamesbond.text.DocumentView in XML instead of traditional TextView. See the first example of the following link to get an idea about code.

i want to create a simple rich text editor in android, just like this application on google play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spn.richnotepad&hl=en
and i am very new in android so anyone can provide some idea about it.
Thank You
It's not difficult at all but before you start I highly recommend you to read the guide from Android Developer site:
https://developer.android.com/training/basics/data-storage/index.html
You will learn how to save data which is a very important part of your project.
Then you have to learn all about EditText (allows the user to type text into your app) and TextView (displays text on screen).
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/text.html
When your app is finished you can add some additional functionality:

I also advice you this Notepad Tutorial which will guide you step by step to construct a simple notes list that lets the user add new notes.

Implementing a rich text editor in Android?
I want to develop an editor which can make the text bold, italics and underline and create an equivalent HTML for it. I have somethhing like this in my mind:
When the user clicks on save, I should get HTML data.
For example , if user writes:Hello World
then I should get <!Doctype HTML><body>Hello <b><i>World</i></b></body></html>
What are my options here? are there any previous projects like this or do i have to make this from scratch?
You can use Character Style sub-classes of Android for the styling of your texts. Then use HTML class to get the HTML equivalent of your text. I'm currently developing one and those are the ones I used. You may also check out https://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-richedit for an example on how you could use Character Style for editing. :)
Is there any way to set different fonts for different states in a TextView?
Let's say I want Helvetica Regular for normal state, and Helvetica Bold for pressed?
I know how to link a custom font with a text view, but not sure how to do same for multiple fonts and single TextView? Specifically, is there a way to achieve this behaviour through xml?
Update: I'm not looking into workarounds, like having HTML in TextView, or even replacing TextView with WebView. If it's not possible to achieve, I'd rather have one font

hope that help.
Using Html.fromHtml comes in handy, but it is limited to the tags you can use. I personally only have used this to do Bold, Colors, italics.
Like this:
String myWords ="<FONT COLOR = "#992211">This is Red:</FONT><br>";
myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml(myWords));
