How to set TextView textStyle such as bold, italic

Question

How to set TextView style (bold or italic) within Java and without using the XML layout?

In other words, I need to write android:textStyle with Java.

Answer 1

textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC); textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD); textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.ITALIC); textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.NORMAL); 

To keep the previous typeface

textView.setTypeface(textView.getTypeface(), Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC)
