Android studio - textStyle: bold does not work

I have seen similar questions but possible solutions (this was the last one that I tried) don't work. The problem is that I can not set the text as bold nor change its size, it always appears non-bold and of the same size.
I need to display #+id/contactName as bold.
<TextView
android:id="#+id/contactName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLines="1"
android:overScrollMode="never"
android:paddingEnd="4dp"
android:textAppearance="#style/contactListTextPrimary"
tools:ignore="RtlSymmetry"
tools:text="Contact title" />
<style name="contactListTextPrimary" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Medium">
<item name="android:textColor">?android:attr/textColorPrimary</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
</style>
The code above does not make the text bold, it always stays as it was before. Below is the complete styles.xml file.

You say that the contactListTextPrimary style is
<style name="contactListTextPrimary" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Medium">
<item name="android:textColor">?android:attr/textColorPrimary</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
</style>
but in the full styles file you have just
<style name="contactListTextPrimary" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Medium">
<item name="android:textColor">?android:attr/textColorPrimary</item>
</style>
Make them match according to the longer version and you should see a bold font.

How to alter styles for MaterialButton without duplication?

We are using material components 1.0.0 and wanted to alter the style of MaterialButton across the app. We created our own styles extending the ones from components library. Right now we have something like:
<resources>
<style name="MyApp.Button" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button">
<item name="android:minHeight">#dimen/action_button_min_height</item>
<item name="android:minWidth">#dimen/action_button_min_width</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">#fonts/customFont</item>
<item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">8dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingRight">8dp</item>
<item name="android:insetTop">0dp</item>
<item name="android:insetBottom">0dp</item>
</style>
<style name="MyApp.Button.Unelevated" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.UnelevatedButton">
<item name="android:minHeight">#dimen/action_button_min_height</item>
<item name="android:minWidth">#dimen/action_button_min_width</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">#fonts/customFont</item>
<item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">8dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingRight">8dp</item>
<item name="android:insetTop">0dp</item>
<item name="android:insetBottom">0dp</item>
</style>
<style name="MyApp.Button.Text" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.TextButton">
<item name="android:minHeight">#dimen/action_button_min_height</item>
<item name="android:minWidth">#dimen/action_button_min_width</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">#fonts/customFont</item>
<item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">8dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingRight">8dp</item>
<item name="android:insetTop">0dp</item>
<item name="android:insetBottom">0dp</item>
</style>
<style name="MyApp.Button.Outlined" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.OutlinedButton">
<item name="android:minHeight">#dimen/action_button_min_height</item>
<item name="android:minWidth">#dimen/action_button_min_width</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">#fonts/customFont</item>
<item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">8dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingRight">8dp</item>
<item name="android:insetTop">0dp</item>
<item name="android:insetBottom">0dp</item>
</style>
</resources>
Is there a way to avoid defining same values for every style?

Since you are using different parent styles you can only semplify some attributes, but not all.
For example you can define:
<style name="MyButtonTextAppearance" parent="#style/TextAppearance.MaterialComponents.Button>
<item name="fontFamily">.....</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">...</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">...</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">...</item>
<item name="android:textSize">...</item>
<item name="android:letterSpacing">...</item>
</style>
And in your styles you can remove the same attributes using:
<style name="MyApp.Button" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button">
....
<item name="android:textAppearance">#style/MyButtonTextAppearance</item>
</style>

DDMS Debugging: Android app (I'm developing) causes device (ONLY Nexus 5) to hang and must restart when using ZXING and Dialog

I'm developing an android app.
I'm using ZXING fragment open source barcode scanning.
I have an option to manually input the barcode. So when the user press the manual input button I open a dialog with edit text. Before the dialog appears I pause the camera and scanning.
This causes the device to hang, the top bar multiples it self adding it self more and more times until it fills the display. The only way to get out of this situation is to restart the device.
This bug only reproduce in Nexus 5
How can I debug this in DDMS?
I'm clueless :P Any ideas?!
This is how the device looks when this happens and you must restart the device:

OK we had the same problem - Nexus 5 only, but with ZBar lib instead of ZXing.
The issue was resolved by switching from a SurfaceView to a TextureView - however this resulted in slower frame rates.
Through testing we found that our issue was caused by leaving the screen, bringing up the keyboard and going back - our solution was setting android:windowSoftInputMode to AdjustPan in the manifest.
Hope this helps!
