set the textsize of a listview

I have a custom listview and have defined a style for it. I am not able to change the textsize of the items on listview. I am trying to change it through layout so that it can dynamically change depending on device.

styles.xml

<style parent="@android:attr/listViewStyle" name="ListStyle">
    <item name="android:background">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="android:divider">@drawable/divider</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">26dp</item>
    <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
</style>

xml layout

<TvList style="ListStyle"
     android:id="@+id/mainview" 
    android:layout_height="300dp"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" />

I know that i can use setTextSize in my code for changing the font size . But i want to change it applying styles. Any suggestions on how to go about changing it?

Thanks

The size of the text within the List View is defined by the ListView's adapter's item resource. If you create a custom view for the list view item and define a TextView, you can change the size of the font within that text view, which will define the size of the text in each item within the List.

I would say the best way is to define resource files that you want and then override them in different configurations. For example, create a values/dimen.xml file and define:

 <dimen name="text_size_medium">18sp</dimen>

and then create another file values-large/dimen.xml which defines

 <dimen name="text_size_medium">22sp</dimen>

Then you just say in your styles.xml:

 <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/text_size_medium</item>
