Try this code:

package com.packegename;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.TypedValue;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Spinner;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class AndroidTextSize extends Activity {

 String[] optUnit = {"COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP",
      "COMPLEX_UNIT_IN",
      "COMPLEX_UNIT_MM",
      "COMPLEX_UNIT_PT",
      "COMPLEX_UNIT_PX",
      "COMPLEX_UNIT_SP"};

 int[] valueUnit = { TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP,
      TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_IN,
      TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_MM,
      TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PT,
      TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX,
      TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP};

 String[] optSize ={"0.05", "0.1", "0.25", "0.5", "1", "4", "8", "10", "14", "16", "20", "30"};
 float[] valueSize = {0.05f, 0.1f, 0.25f, 0.5f, 1f, 4f, 8f, 10f, 14f, 16f, 20f, 30f};

 Spinner selUnit, selSize;
 TextView textOut;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        selUnit = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.selunit);
        selSize = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.selsize);
     textOut = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textout);

     ArrayAdapter<String> adapterUnit = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, optUnit);
     adapterUnit.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
     selUnit.setAdapter(adapterUnit);
     selUnit.setOnItemSelectedListener(selUnitOnItemSelectedListener);

     ArrayAdapter<String> adapterSize = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
             android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, optSize);
     adapterSize.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
     selSize.setAdapter(adapterSize);
     selSize.setOnItemSelectedListener(selSizeOnItemSelectedListener);
    }

    private Spinner.OnItemSelectedListener selUnitOnItemSelectedListener
    = new Spinner.OnItemSelectedListener(){

  @Override
  public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
    long arg3) {
   // TODO Auto-generated method stub
   updateTextSize();
  }

  @Override
  public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
   // TODO Auto-generated method stub

  }};

 private Spinner.OnItemSelectedListener selSizeOnItemSelectedListener
 = new Spinner.OnItemSelectedListener(){

  @Override
  public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
    long arg3) {
   // TODO Auto-generated method stub
   updateTextSize();
  }

  @Override
  public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
   // TODO Auto-generated method stub

  }};

 private void updateTextSize(){
  int unit = valueUnit[selUnit.getSelectedItemPosition()];
  String strUnit = optUnit[selUnit.getSelectedItemPosition()];
  float size = valueSize[selSize.getSelectedItemPosition()];
  String strSize = optSize[selSize.getSelectedItemPosition()];

  textOut.setTextSize(unit, size);
  textOut.setText(strUnit + " : " + strSize); 
 }   
}

above code is working for one activity and for single textview or other view .. use this code globally for whole application activity modify

create one class. TextFontSize.class implement class with serializable

change updateTextSize() to.

 public static void updateTextView(TextView theTextView, float theSize) {


        theTextView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, theSize);


    }

    public static void updateEditText(EditText theEditText, float theSize) {


        theEditText.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, theSize);


    }

and any other Layout view just create method as above.

and use this function any activity of your application like

private void setAllFontSizeOf(float theSize) {
        TextVFontsize.updateTextView(textview, theSize); 

       TextFontSize.updateEditText(Edittext,theSize);

    }

and finally declare this method to particular activity.
