Getting the default font size of a multiline TextView in Android

android, font-size, textview

Solution

This will return the value in pixels within a context:

float size = new TextView(this).getTextSize();

Problem

I want to have a font-size preference in percentage relative to the default font-size, so I need to get the default font-size for a TextView. How do I get the default font-size of a TextView?
