How to programmatically set the size of the font in the list item before adding it to the ListView?

Question

I'm interested in how you can change the size of the text in the list and then add it to the ListView. I'm using a list_item with custom layout . The question is how you can set the size of the text before it gets into the ListView. I hope for your help.

list_item.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    xmlns:android1="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<LinearLayout
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/shop_name"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="1"
        />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/shop_address"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="2"
        />

</LinearLayout>

Answer 1

Simply do this in the getView() method of the Adapter, to set the font size.

tv.setTextSize(20.0f);
