I want to be able to make a TextView bold. This is how I am setting it's appearance (I need to do this in code):

nameText.setTextAppearance(getApplicationContext(), R.style.BlueText); priceText.setTextAppearance(getApplicationContext(), R.style.BlueText); changeText.setTextAppearance(getApplicationContext(), R.style.BlueText);

Here is my style.xml

 <!-- Blue Color --> <style name="BlueText"> <item name="android:textColor">#4871A8</item> </style>

How can I make sure my TextView is bolded?

On a related note, if you want to do the same without any XML at all, you can do this:

TextView myText = new TextView(this);
myText.setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
myText.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD);
