IndexOutOfBoundsException

Tried to test your code and here's the stack trace:

"java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: setSpan (73 ... 14) has end before start"

this line of code:

spannableString.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(ContextCompat.getColor(context.getApplicationContext(), R.color.secondary_text)), titleString.lastIndexOf(author) + author.length() + 1, titleString.lastIndexOf(article.getTitle()) - 1, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
