Android - Using Custom Font

Question

I applied a custom font to a TextView, but it doesn\'t seems to change the typeface.

Here is my code:

    Typeface myTypeface = Typeface         


        

Answer 1

You can use easy & simple EasyFonts third party library to set variety of custom fonts to your TextView. By using this library you should not have to worry about downloading and adding fonts into the assets/fonts folder. Also about Typeface object creation.

Instead of

Typeface myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/myFont.ttf");
TextView myTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myTextView);
myTextView.setTypeface(myTypeface);

Simply:

TextView myTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myTextView);
myTextView.setTypeface(EasyFonts.robotoThin(this));

This library also provides following font face.

• Roboto
• Droid Serif
• Droid Robot
• Freedom
• Fun Raiser
• Android Nation
• Green Avocado
• Recognition
