I'm trying to add android:lineSpacingMultiplier in my textAppearance style (android:textAppearance), and it's not working. Am I doing something wrong?
TextAppearance style:
<style name="TextAppearance.Body1" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Body1">
<item name="android:lineSpacingMultiplier">1.25</item>
</style>
Use of style:
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="This is body 1\nThis is body 1"
android:textAppearance="TextAppearance.Body1"
/>

TextAppearance allows you to define text-specific styling while leaving a View 's style available for other uses. Note, however, that if you define any text attributes directly on the View or in a style, those values would override the TextAppearance values.
Just we need to add an attribute with your TextView that give the spacing with lines. These are –android:lineSpacingExtra, android:lineSpacingMultiplier – use these two attributes with your TextView in XML file. or Programatically call setter method of that attribute textView. setLineSpacing().
For whatever reason android:lineSpacingMultiplier doesn't work as an item within your textAppearance. You'll either have to set it directly as a TextView attribute (using android:lineSpacingMultiplier), or create a regular style which "wraps" setting the textAppearance and lineSpacingMultiplier
Create a style
<style name="TextBody1">
<item name="android:textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Body1</item>
<item name="android:lineSpacingMultiplier">1.25</item>
</style>
or
<style name="TextBody1" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Body1">
<item name="android:lineSpacingMultiplier">1.25</item>
</style>
and then apply via style instead of android:textAppearance
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="This is body 1\nThis is body 1"
style="@style/TextBody1"
/>
