Android - set TextView TextStyle programmatically?

Question

Is there a way to set the textStyle attribute of a TextView programmatically? There doesn\'t appear to be a setTextStyle() method.

Answer 1

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);
