How to set same text size in android app?

I'm wondering how to make your MainScreen text same size on all devices(I'm using android studio) I have 65dp text, but once I run it on emulator which has bigger screen my text is much smaller.

You could use the current resolution of the screen and the text size will be proportional for every single device. In this way you could use something like this:

//get your textView
TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.titleField);
text.setText("Your title here");
text.setTextSize(65 * getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density);

you could do this for every TextView in your MainScreen. Hopefully this helps you :)

P.S. You could find more suggestions for your case here: Text size with different resolution

Never use "dp" for specifying textsizes. Always use "sp" for textsize and "dp" for everything else.

android:textSize="25sp"

android:layout_width="50dp"
