Try this it will update the style as well as color of your EditText text when you click yourButton

 yourButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

              yourEditText.setText(Html.fromHtml("<font color=red><b>"+yourEditText.getText().toString()+"</b></font>"));// set style and color  

            }
        });

I do not believe you can set the style programatically. To get around this you can create a template layout xml file with the style assigned, for example in res/layout create tvtemplate.xml as with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<EditText xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="This is a template"
        style="@style/my_style" />


EditText myText = (EditText)getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.tvtemplate, null);

Hope this helps :)

To set the color, use : 

 textView.setTextColor(Color.SOMECOLOR);

To set the font, use :

textView.setTypeFace(SOMEFONT);

If you don't actually know how to set it to the click of a button, then here's how you do it:

First, make a Button. I'll just assume you named it button. Set it via findViewById(R.whateverTheIdOfTheButtonIs)

Then, you will need to do :

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                //Set the text color or font here
            }
        });
