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

User · Answer

Standard way to do this is to use the custom styles. Ex-

In styles.xml add the following.

<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<style name="MyApp.TextAppearance.LoginText">
    <item name="android:textStyle">bold|italic</item>
</style>

Apply this style to your TextView as follows.

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    style="@style/MyApp.TextAppearance.LoginText" />

Since I want to use a custom font only conjunction of several answers works for me  Obviously  settings in my layout xml like android textStlyle  italic  was ignored by AOS  So finally I had to do as follows  in strings xml the target string was declared as    lt string name  txt sign  gt  lt i gt The information blah blah     lt  i gt  lt  string gt    then additionally in code   TextView textSign    TextView  findViewById R id txt sign   FontHelper setSomeCustomFont textSign   textSign setTypeface textSign getTypeface    Typeface ITALIC     I didn t try the Spannable option  which I assume MUST work  but  textSign setText Html fromHtml getString R string txt sign       had no effect  Also if I remove the italic tag from strings xml leaving the setTypeface   all alone it has no effect either  Tricky Android
