Use TextViewCompat from support library:

TextViewCompat.setTextAppearance(tv, android.R.style.TextAppearance_Medium);

This also works on other widgets that extends TextView like Chip, Checkbox, etc. – mariozawa Dec 11 '19 at 03:36

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
                titleTextView.setTextAppearance(R.style.TextAppearance_MaterialComponents_Headline6);
            } else {
                titleTextView.setTextAppearance(context, R.style.TextAppearance_MaterialComponents_Headline6);
            }

For API > 23, do :

tv.setTextAppearance(android.R.style.TextAppearance_Medium);

If you support API < 23 (as most devs do at the moment) the code gets messy as you'll have put loads of `if (SDK >= 23)` - best to use `TextViewCompat.setTextAppearance(view, resId)` – Zain Jan 27 '17 at 12:07

it means you don't need to put the context arg there you can simply put the style id. it gets context automatically now

Only from API >=23 - if you support below this SDK you'll have litter your code with `if (SDK >= 23)` - best to use `TextViewCompat.setTextAppearance(view, resId)` – Zain Jan 27 '17 at 12:09
