Answer 1

You need to keep a bold flag so that you check the current status of the flag and do the opposite.

Some thing like this:

Boolean isBold = false;
.
.
.
boldText()
{
  if(isBold){
      //unbold 
      setTypeface( <What you need> )
      isbold=false;
  }
  else {
      //bold 
      setTypeface( <What you need> )
      isbold=true;
  }
}

Answer 2

It is not simply setting the flag to do bold and remove the bold.We have to know the text we have selected is in bold and if it is bold then we have to remove the bold by clicking the same button..
