[android] dpi value of default "large", "medium" and "small" text views android

Does the documentation ( or anyone) talks about the dpi values of the default

• Large TextView {android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"}
• Medium TextView {android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"}
• Small TextView { android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"}

widgets in the SDK ?

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:

<dimen name="text_size_small">14sp</dimen>
<dimen name="text_size_medium">18sp</dimen>
<dimen name="text_size_large">22sp</dimen>

Here is an example for a TextView with large text from the dimens.xml file:

<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"/>

Programmatically, you could use:

textView.setTextAppearance(android.R.style.TextAppearance_Large);
