dpi value of default “large”, “medium” and “small” text views android

Question

• Large TextView {android:textAppearance=\"?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge

Answer 1

• small represents 14sp

If you want to use the small, medium or large value on any text in your Android app, you can just create a dimens.xml file in your values folder and define the text size there with the following 3 lines:

14sp
18sp
22sp
