TextStyle explained for Android Developers

For Android developers, the TextStyle class can be compared to the TextView’s styling options in Android. Just like you can set text appearance in Android XML or programmatically, TextStyle allows you to define styles directly in your Flutter widgets. It provides a more flexible and dynamic way to manage text styles, similar to how Jetpack Compose handles UI components.

Example Code

Here is an example of how to use TextStyle:

const Text(
  'Hello, Flutter!',
  style: TextStyle(
    fontSize: 20,
    fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
    color: Colors.blue,
  ),
);

TextStyle Remarks

The TextStyle class is a powerful tool for Flutter developers, enabling them to create visually appealing text with ease. Understanding its properties and methods can significantly enhance the user interface of your applications.
