Question

I am using Eclipse Indigo, testing on 2 emulators(2.2 and 3.0).

the code below shows what I am testing now, however setting the text size reveals nothing on the scre

Answer 1

the method TextView.setTextSize(int unit , float size); takes two parameters .

Try this :

text.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP,14);

refer this and this.

UPDATE: Now the setTextSize(float size) will set the text size automatically in "scaled pixel" units. no need to mention the COMPLEX_UNIT_SP manually. Refer to the documentation.
