Material
A MaterialTextView is a derivative of AppCompatTextView that displays text to the user. To provide user-editable text, see android.widget.EditText.
MaterialTextView supports the ability to read and apply android:lineHeight value from a TextAppearance style.
The following code sample shows a typical use, with an XML layout and code to modify the contents of the material text view:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<MaterialTextView
android:id="@+id/text_view_id"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello" />
</LinearLayout>

This code sample demonstrates how to modify the contents of the material text view defined in the previous XML layout:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final MaterialTextView textView = (MaterialTextView) findViewById(R.id.text_view_id);
textView.setText(R.string.user_greeting);
}
}
