title: Android: How to change the textsize in an EditText field?
body: <p>I want to display a table with some fields being editable - see this example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;LinearLayout
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent"
   android:orientation="vertical"
   android:paddingLeft="1dip"
   android:paddingRight="1dip"
   android:paddingBottom="1dip"
   android:background="#F00"
   &gt;
   &lt;ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/ScrollView01"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:scrollbars="vertical"
    &gt;
    &lt;HorizontalScrollView
     android:id="@+id/HorizontalScrollView01"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:scrollbars="horizontal"
     &gt;
     &lt;TableLayout
      android:id="@+id/ItemPane"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:background="#EEE"
     &gt;
      &lt;TableRow
       android:id="@+id/DataRow"
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"    
       android:background="#888"
       android:layout_margin="0dp" 
       android:gravity="left"
       &gt;
       &lt;TextView
        android:id="@+id/NameField"
        android:text="Fieldname"
        android:background="#EEE"
        android:textSize="14dp"
        android:layout_margin="1dp" 
        android:layout_marginBottom="0dp" 
        android:paddingLeft="3dp"
        android:paddingRight="3dp"
       /&gt;
       &lt;EditText
        android:id="@+id/DataField"
        android:text="some field"
        android:background="#EEE"
        android:textSize="14dp"
        android:layout_margin="1dp" 
        android:layout_marginBottom="0dp" 
        android:paddingLeft="3dp"
        android:paddingRight="3dp"
        android:singleLine="true"
       /&gt;
       &lt;EditText
        android:id="@+id/DataField2"
        android:text="some longish field content..."
        android:background="#EEE"
        android:textSize="14dp"
        android:layout_margin="1dp" 
        android:layout_marginBottom="0dp" 
        android:paddingLeft="3dp"
        android:paddingRight="3dp"
        android:singleLine="true"
       /&gt;
      &lt;/TableRow&gt;   
     &lt;/TableLayout&gt;
    &lt;/HorizontalScrollView&gt;
   &lt;/ScrollView&gt;
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why is the textSize attribute ignored in EditText-fields? How can I make the text in those fields smaller, so that ALL cells have the same font size? Why does Android not honor that attribute, even if explicitly set?</p>
