This example demonstrates how do I change the font size of TextView in android.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   tools:context=".MainActivity">
   <TextView
      android:id="@+id/textView1"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:text="Im Huge"
      android:fontFamily="sans-serif-smallcaps"
      android:layout_centerInParent="true"
      android:textSize="64sp" />
   <TextView
      android:id="@+id/textView2"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_below="@id/textView1"
      android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
      android:text="Im small"
      android:layout_centerInParent="true"
      android:fontFamily="serif-monospace"
      android:textSize="36sp" />
   <TextView
      android:id="@+id/textView3"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_below="@id/textView2"
      android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
      android:text="Im tiny"
      android:layout_centerInParent="true"
      android:fontFamily="serif-monospace"
      android:textSize="24sp" />
</RelativeLayout>

import android.os.Bundle;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
   }
}

         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>
