How to get the font face size and formatting of a native element in Android application?

Question

I would like to reuse the exact same font-face etc... like Android uses in the PreferenceScreen

Here is a screenshot I am looking to reuse the title, and the summary style from these views.

Answer 1

You can use system-defined text appearances like android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge (also Small, Medium).

For more on these system-defined attributes, see:

• http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr.html

There's also the hierarchyviewer tool that is bundled with the SDK, which will let you inspect views and their attributes from any running app.
