Android: How to check if TextView is bold or italic programatically

Question

I would like to know how to construct an if statement to check if a TextView is bold or italic. Please help. Thank you.

Answer 1

To check if textview is BOLD and ITALIC, use following code:

 if((textView.getTypeface().getStyle() & Typeface.BOLD)!=0 &&(textView.getTypeface().getStyle() & Typeface.ITALIC)!=0){
                  //do your stuff

}

To check if textview is either BOLD or ITALIC, use following code:

 if((textView.getTypeface().getStyle() & Typeface.BOLD)!=0 ||(textView.getTypeface().getStyle() & Typeface.ITALIC)!=0){
                      //do your stuff
}

Answer 2

Try

textView.getTypeface()

then check if it is equal to

• Typeface.BOLD
• Typeface.ITALIC
• Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC

Answer 3

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#getTypeface()

public Typeface getTypeface ()

returns:

the current typeface and style in which the text is being displayed.

if(yourTextViewInstance.getTypeface()!=null){
   if(yourTextViewInstance.getTypeface().getStyle()==Typeface.BOLD || yourTextViewInstance.getTypeface().getStyle()==Typeface.ITALIC){
      //do your stuff
   }
}
