How to apply FontSize dynamically and programmatically without using XML in Android?

Question

Possible Duplicate:
How to change the Font Size in a whole Application programmatically, Android?

This is my Code : I have created Spinner with a list of FontSize options. If I click FontSize "26" then it should be able to change in that specific FontSize. Below I have an EditBox. So if I clicked Fontsize as 40 and in a Italic style than usual Bold. So I should be able to type inside EditBox with this selected "Font" : FontSize "40" and Italic style.

How could I do this programmatically in Android?

font=new Spinner(con);
option= new String[] {"Select Font Size","8","10","12","14","16","18","20",
                      "22","24","26","28","30","32","34","36","38","40","50"};
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter= new ArrayAdapter<String>(con,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item,option);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);

font.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
    @Override
    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,int position, long id) {
        option[1]="8";
       selectedItem= option[position];
    }
    @Override
    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
    }
});

Don't bother reading the [FAQ's](http://stackoverflow.com/faq) eh?? — Siddharth Lele, Oct 03 '12 at 10:24
Actually, i wanna do it in globally. It shoud be applied for entire application. Not specifically to EditText alone . Even it should be able to apply it in my whole project. But really do not understand how to do entirely .. — Achiever, Oct 03 '12 at 10:58

to change

textSize use editText.setTextSize(20)

font and style use editText.setTypeface(yourTypeFace, Typeface.BOLD)

UPDATE

public class MyEditText extends EditText{

public MyEditText(Context context) {
    super(context);
    init();
}

public MyEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    init();
}
public MyEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    init();
}
void init() {
   this.setTextSize(20);
   this.setTypeface(yourTypeFace, Typeface.BOLD);
}

// method to change font settings
void setFont(TypeFace tf){
   this.setTypeFace(tf);
}
//add whatever method you want
}

and then instead of using EditText you use this class, and don't forget in your XML to use

<yourpackage.MyEditText
     android:layout_height=".."
     android:layout_width=".."
     ... />

This i have tried but i do not need this. My need is to apply it entirely – Achiever Oct 03 '12 at 11:01
ah ok, then I guess you have to extend the required components and add methods to changes these settings – ColdFire Oct 03 '12 at 11:06

The probable solution would be you create a base class which extends TextView, and use this text view class as edit text. Hope you are asking for size in first screen. In any case, u set the text size in the base class. This will solve your problem.

like u create this class in package com.example and class name is BaseTextView, then in xml file instead of you will write

Hope this helps.

First of all get the id of the EditBox. Then selected item's position. according to that you can make a formula like this:

public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,int position, long id) {
    int p=(8+(pos*2));

    editText.setTextSize(p);
}
