How to set typeface for textview programmatically?

I am using textview in my application. In that I need to change the typeface for the textview programmatically. In a button click function i need to change the textview typeface. If typeface is Normal means i need to convert to Bold(Vice versa). If anybody knows the answer means kindly share with me. Thanks.

Solution

  • To make your textView bold programmatically do:

    textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);

    To set it back to normal do:

    textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.NORMAL);

    To get the current typeface use getTypeface()
