To put it in another way  can we replicate the appearance of these text views without using the android textAppearance attribute    Like biegleux already said    small represents 14sp medium represents 18sp large represents 22sp   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    lt dimen name  text size small  gt 14sp lt  dimen gt   lt dimen name  text size medium  gt 18sp lt  dimen gt   lt dimen name  text size large  gt 22sp lt  dimen gt    Here is an example for a TextView with large text from the dimens xml file    lt TextView   android id    id hello world    android text  hello world    android layout width  wrap content    android layout height  wrap content    android textSize   dimen text size large   gt
