How put "bold" to "android:textStyle" of a TextView from RemoteViews ?

[Alix]

Hello,

I have a widget with a TextView. I can change text and color of this
TextView like this :

remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.txt, "Sample");
remoteViews.setTextColor(R.id.txt, Color.RED);

But I need to put this TextView "bold" conditionnaly... How can I do
that ?

Thanks in advance...

TextView.setTypeface(Typeface tf); provided the font you chose
supports "Bold" style.

Get the TextView object with findViewById() and then call
TextViewsetTypeFace().

Because this is across RemoteViews not all TextView methods are
available. In this case, using a SpannableString to mark a bold
region should work, since it's a CharSequence.

I did the following and it's works !

SpannableString s = new SpannableString("Toto is bold...");
s.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD), 0, 4, 0);
remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.txt, s);

Thanks
