How to set text size using dimension from xml at runtime programmatically?
android, dimensions, textview
Solution
Add dimension in dimens.xml:
<dimen name="text_medium">18sp</dimen>
Set the size in code:
textView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.text_medium));
Problem
In dimens.xml, I have: ``` <dimen name="text_medium">18sp</dimen> ``` In runtime, I get this value and set the text size of a text view: ``` int size = context.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.text_medium); textView.setTextSize(size). ``` On a 10″ tablet (1280 x 800), everything is ok; but on a phone (800 x 480), the text view has a very large font. On the tablet, the size equals 18; on the phone, it's 27. If I set the size manually by: ``` textView.setTextSize(size) ``` the size is normal on both devices.
