Setting Padding and Typeface in Android Using style.xml

In Android development, achieving a polished and professional user interface is crucial. One common task you might face is adjusting the padding and text style of a TextView. In this guide, we will delve into how to easily set padding and text typeface (bold) using style.xml in your Android project.

Understanding the Requirements

When customizing a TextView, you may want to set the following attributes:

Padding: Space between the text and the boundaries of the text view.

Typeface: Text style, such as bold or italic.

While you can certainly set these properties programmatically, defining them in style.xml allows for a cleaner and more reusable design.

Creating a Style in style.xml

To define a style for your TextView, you need to modify the style.xml file found in your res/values directory. Here’s how you can set padding and typeface:

Step 1: Define Your Style

Insert the following line into your styles.xml file:

Explanation of Properties

Padding Properties: Each android:padding attribute assigns the specified space around the text. In this case, 24dp is added on all sides except the bottom.

Text Style: The android:textStyle property set to bold gives your text a bolder appearance.

Step 2: Applying the Style

To apply the style to your TextView, you have two options, depending on whether you are defining the text view in XML or programmatically.

Option A: Defining in XML

If your TextView is defined in an XML layout file, you would apply the style like this:
