Just you need to use 

//for bold
android:textStyle="bold"

//for italic
android:textStyle="italic"

//for normal
android:textStyle="normal"

<TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:text="@string/userName"
    android:layout_gravity="left"
    android:textSize="16sp"
/>

I have a project in which I have the following TextView : 

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:text="@string/app_name"
    android:layout_gravity="center" 
/>

So, I'm guessing you need to use android:textStyle
