How do I draw bold text on a Bitmap?

For Custom Fonts:

Typeface typeface = Typeface.create(Typeface.createFromAsset(mContext.getAssets(), "fonts/bangla/bensen_handwriting.ttf"), Typeface.BOLD);

For Normal Fonts:

Typeface typeface = Typeface.create(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD);
// or
Typeface typeface = Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD;

and then

paint.setTypeface(typeface);

Use the setTypeface method on your Paint object to set the font to something with the bold style turned on.

paint.setTypeface(Typeface.create(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD));
