Read font size from Settings

Question

This question is a almost dublicate of Android App: how to read Font Size under Settings? I read the answer of CommonsWare which points to use Settings.System.FONT_SCA

Answer 1

I just found in the source code of Settings.System this function:

/** @hide */
public static void getConfigurationForUser(ContentResolver cr,
                                       Configuration outConfig, int userHandle) {
    outConfig.fontScale = Settings.System.getFloatForUser(
        cr, FONT_SCALE, outConfig.fontScale, userHandle);
    if (outConfig.fontScale < 0) {
        outConfig.fontScale = 1;
    }
}

There is however the FONT_SCALE in usage so I checked for that Configuration class where the documentation points to getResources().getConfiguration(). So I cound fix my code by using:

float scale = getResources().getConfiguration().fontScale;
