I believe you can just use textStyle="bolditalic" – Shivan Dragon Aug 29 '12 at 18:04
It's referenced [here](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:textStyle), but not listed in the table, but I believe you're correct. Either way should work. :) – Kevin Coppock Aug 29 '12 at 18:06
