kotlin settextappearance alternative

To apply a text appearance in Kotlin, you can use the setTextAppearance method. This method allows you to set the appearance of a TextView or any subclass of TextView.

Here are the steps to use setTextAppearance:

1. Identify the TextView or subclass of TextView that you want to modify the appearance of.

2. Get a reference to the TextView by using its ID. For example, if the TextView has an ID of textView, you can get a reference to it using the following code:

val textView = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.textView)

1. Call the setTextAppearance method on the TextView object. This method takes two parameters: the context and the resource ID of the text appearance. The context can be obtained from the TextView itself or from the activity or fragment that contains it.

textView.setTextAppearance(context, R.style.TextAppearance)

In the above code, R.style.TextAppearance is the resource ID of the text appearance style that you want to apply. You can create your own custom text appearance style in the styles.xml file or use one of the predefined styles provided by Android.

And that's it! The setTextAppearance method will apply the specified text appearance to the TextView or subclass of TextView.
