How to get type face style of a custom font in android?

After using custom fonts, I can't get type face style (BOLD, ITALIC, BOLD_ITALIC) of a text view by :

textView.getTypeface.getStyle();

In fact setting new type face style doesn't apply to textView really, although we can see the style is changing visually. I set type face style like this:

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "sampleFont.ttf");
textView.setTypeface(font, Typeface.BOLD);

But,

textView.getTypeface.getStyle();

returns 0 (NORMAL) instead of 1 (BOLD)! All these happen when I trying to use a regular font.

Typeface also has the methods isBold() and isItalic() since API level 1.

Or try this

if(textView.getTypeface()!=null){
   if(textView.getTypeface().getStyle()==Typeface.BOLD || textView.getTypeface().getStyle()==Typeface.ITALIC){
      //your code goes here
   }
}
