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

android, android-xml, textview

Solution

See in the android sdk directory.

In `\platforms\android-X\data\res\values\themes.xml`:

    <item name="textAppearanceLarge">@android:style/TextAppearance.Large</item>
    <item name="textAppearanceMedium">@android:style/TextAppearance.Medium</item>
    <item name="textAppearanceSmall">@android:style/TextAppearance.Small</item>

In `\platforms\android-X\data\res\values\styles.xml`:

<style name="TextAppearance.Large">
    <item name="android:textSize">22sp</item>
</style>

<style name="TextAppearance.Medium">
    <item name="android:textSize">18sp</item>
</style>

<style name="TextAppearance.Small">
    <item name="android:textSize">14sp</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">?textColorSecondary</item>
</style>

`TextAppearance.Large` means style is inheriting from `TextAppearance` style, you have to trace it also if you want to see full definition of a style.

Problem

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?
