Android text style missing light, medium, thin,

android, text-styling, textview, typeface

Solution

This is font specific. Not all fonts have a light, medium, thin attribute/style, but the default font should. You can use the default light font by using `fontFamily: sans-serif-light` or for thin, `fontFamily: sans-serif-thin`.

For custom fonts, you would need to include the light version of the font and use it.

Problem

When setting custom fonts for a textview, I can only choose normal, bold or italic: How can I set the style to be light instead of bold in the following example? ``` <TextViewWithCustomFont ... android:textStyle="bold"/> ```
