Answer 1

You can do this simply by:

    //Adjust values with whatever your need is
    int SIZE_LARGE = 24; 
    int SIZE_SMALL= 16;

    btnLargeText.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            textView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, LARGE_SIZE);
        }
    });

    btnSmallText.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            textView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, SIZE_SMALL);
        }
    });

Answer 2

you can check

btnTextDeSave.setOnClickListener(onClickEven);
        btnTextInSave.setOnClickListener(onClickEven);

public OnClickListener onClickEven = new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            switch (v.getId()) {
                break;
            case R.id.btTextDeSave:
                txtDescriptionSave.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, (txtDescriptionSave.getTextSize() - 2f));
                break;
            case R.id.btTextInSave:
                txtDescriptionSave.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, (txtDescriptionSave.getTextSize() + 2f));
                break;

            default:
                break;
            }

        }
    };

Answer 3

To increase the size of your textView you can use

_percentField.setTextSize(values[0]*2);

where values is an array.

And to decrease you can try

 _percentField.setTextSize(values[0]/2);

Answer 4

You can try this-

    textView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, <font-size value in integer> );

    // to update your changes
    textView.invalidate();

Answer 5

do it this way

float fs = prefs.getFloat("fontsize", 12);
seekbar.setProgress((int)fs);
layout.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX,seekbar.getProgress());

and don't forget onProgressChanged:

layout.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX,progress);
