MaterialTextView

public class MaterialTextView
extends AppCompatTextView

A MaterialTextView is a derivative of AppCompatTextView that displays text to the user. To provide user-editable text, see EditText.

MaterialTextView supports the ability to read and apply android:lineHeight value from a TextAppearance style.

The following code sample shows a typical use, with an XML layout and code to modify the contents of the material text view:

 <LinearLayout
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <MaterialTextView
        android:id="@+id/text_view_id"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello" />
 </LinearLayout>
 

This code sample demonstrates how to modify the contents of the material text view defined in the previous XML layout:

 public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
         final MaterialTextView textView = (MaterialTextView) findViewById(R.id.text_view_id);
         textView.setText(R.string.user_greeting);
     }
 }
