Set style for TextView programmatically
I do not believe you can set the style programatically. To get around this you can create a template layout xml file with the style assigned, for example in res/layout create tvtemplate.xml as with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="This is a template" style="@style/my_style" />then inflate this to instantiate your new TextView:
TextView myText = (TextView)getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.tvtemplate, null);Hope this helps.
You can create a generic style and re-use it on multiple textviews like the one below:
textView.setTextAppearance(this, R.style.MyTextStyle);Edit: this refers to Context
You can pass a ContextThemeWrapper to the constructor like this:
TextView myText = new TextView(new ContextThemeWrapper(MyActivity.this, R.style.my_style));
