If typeface is Normal means i need to convert to Bold(Vice versa). If anybody knows the answer means kindly share with me. Thanks.

Answer 1

To make your textView bold programmatically do:

textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);

To set it back to normal do:

textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.NORMAL);

To get the current typeface use getTypeface()
