[Solved] How to increase font size in strings.xml in android
I have string which should look like below
<string name="text">
<![CDATA[Text in bigger font size 20.. Text in normal font size 10
]]>
</string>
Any idea or inputs whether this can be achievable? It is preferable if I use CDATA tag, but unfortunately the font tag isn’t working inside the CDATA. The font through the text remains the same even if I set the size..
I will consume this string in a TextView.
Solution #1:
<string name="text">
<font size="20">Text in bigger font size 20..</font><font size="10"> Text in normal font size 10</font>
</string>
Solution #2:
I know this question has been here for so long but seems like there is no proper answer.
In your strings.xml file you put
<string name="text">
<![CDATA[<font size="20">Text in bigger font size 20.. </font><font size="10">Text in normal font size 10</font>]]> </string>
And in your java code file
put this line
textview.setText(Html.fromHtml(getResources.getString(R.string.text)));
Solution #3:
Strings are strings and a TextView is a visual tool to display a string.
You should put the text size in the TextView definition in the XML
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="20sp"/>
Or in the code
TextView text = findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setTextSize(20);
Solution #4:
Use android:textSize in the TextView tag inside your layout file
eg:
<TextView
android:layout_marginBottom="100dp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textSize="50sp"
android:textColor="#ff1917ff"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
Solution #5:
You can use a span to change font size of a portion of text.
See this answer for span code.
In your case you can set size to 10 and span with double the size for the first portion.
Solution #6:
Try this inside :-
android:textSize="20sp"
