Spannable is a CharSequence and you should be able to use CharSequence.subSequence(int start, int end) without losing any information about the spannable

Using below code you can get substring from spannable:

SpannableString ss1 = new SpannableString(s);
        ss1.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(1.1f), 0, 6, 0); // set size
        ss1.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 0, 6, 0);
        SpannableString ss = new SpannableString("Click here to learn more");
        ss.setSpan(clickableSpan, 0, 10, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
        textview.setText(ss);

Hope it helps you.
