Set Style For Textview Programmatically

Android - set TextView TextStyle programmatically?

textview.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD);

setTypeface is the Attribute textStyle.

As Shankar V added, to preserve the previously set typeface attributes you can use:

textview.setTypeface(textview.getTypeface(), Typeface.BOLD);

As for the TextView, programmatically change the style?

Thank you all , I found the solution I need .

LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(AbsListView.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, AbsListView.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
params.weight = 1.0f;
params.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;

TextView textView = new TextView(PhotoActivity.this);
textView.setText("Photo not found.");
textView.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
textView.setLayoutParams(params);

As an alternative way:

textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);

How do I set the style of a textView programmatically?

You can't programmatically set the style of a View, but you might be able to do something like textView.setTextAppearance(context, android.R.style.TextAppearance_Small);.

Set style for TextView programmatically

I do not believe you can set the style programatically. To get around this you can create a template layout xml file with the style assigned, for example in res/layout create tvtemplate.xml as with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="This is a template"
        style="@style/my_style" />

then inflate this to instantiate your new TextView:

TextView myText = (TextView)getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.tvtemplate, null);

Android: set view style programmatically

Technically you can apply styles programmatically, with custom views anyway:

private MyRelativeLayout extends RelativeLayout {
  public MyRelativeLayout(Context context) {
     super(context, null, R.style.LightStyle);
  }
}

The one argument constructor is the one used when you instantiate views programmatically.

So chain this constructor to the super that takes a style parameter.

RelativeLayout someLayout = new MyRelativeLayout(new ContextThemeWrapper(this,R.style.RadioButton));

---

Or as @Dori pointed out simply:

RelativeLayout someLayout = new RelativeLayout(new ContextThemeWrapper(activity,R.style.LightStyle));

---

Now in Kotlin:

class MyRelativeLayout @JvmOverloads constructor(
    context: Context, 
    attributeSet: AttributeSet? = null, 
    defStyleAttr: Int = R.style.LightStyle,
) : RelativeLayout(context, attributeSet, defStyleAttr)

or

 val rl = RelativeLayout(ContextThemeWrapper(activity, R.style.LightStyle))

How can I set a textview's style programmatically?

You may find this answer by Benjamin Piette handy. To change this into working code for a TextView just change it up a bit:

TextView tv = new TextView (new ContextThemeWrapper(this, R.style.mystyle), null, 0);

EDIT: to set other things like margins, height & width and others, use LayoutParams. To set the params throrin19's answer can be helpful.

LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
        LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,      
        LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
);
params.setMargins(left, top, right, bottom);
tv.setLayoutParams(params);

How to change a TextView's style at runtime

I did this by creating a new XML file res/values/style.xml as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <style name="boldText">
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold|italic</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">#FFFFFF</item>
    </style>

    <style name="normalText">
        <item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">#C0C0C0</item>
    </style>

</resources>

I also have an entries in my "strings.xml" file like this:

<color name="highlightedTextViewColor">#000088</color>
<color name="normalTextViewColor">#000044</color>

Then, in my code I created a ClickListener to trap the tap event on that TextView:
EDIT:
As from API 23 'setTextAppearance' is deprecated

    myTextView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View view){
                    //highlight the TextView
                    //myTextView.setTextAppearance(getApplicationContext(), R.style.boldText);
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 23) {
       myTextView.setTextAppearance(getApplicationContext(), R.style.boldText);
    } else {
       myTextView.setTextAppearance(R.style.boldText);
    }
     myTextView.setBackgroundResource(R.color.highlightedTextViewColor);
                }
            });

To change it back, you would use this:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 23) {
    myTextView.setTextAppearance(getApplicationContext(), R.style.normalText);
} else{
   myTextView.setTextAppearance(R.style.normalText);
}
myTextView.setBackgroundResource(R.color.normalTextViewColor);

How to change fontFamily of TextView in Android

From android 4.1 / 4.2 / 5.0, the following Roboto font families are available:

android:fontFamily="sans-serif"           // roboto regular
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"     // roboto light
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-condensed" // roboto condensed
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-black"     // roboto black
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-thin"      // roboto thin (android 4.2)
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-medium"    // roboto medium (android 5.0)

in combination with

android:textStyle="normal|bold|italic"

this 16 variants are possible:

    <string name="font_family_medium">sans-serif-medium</string>
    <string name="font_family_regular">sans-serif</string>

How to set TextView textStyle such as bold, italic

textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC);
textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);
textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.ITALIC);
textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.NORMAL);

To keep the previous typeface

textView.setTypeface(textView.getTypeface(), Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC)
