How to set custom font in .xml file instead of .java file?

Question

I am creating one Application in which I want to set custom font.

But I can\'t use custom Fonts in .xml file, for using this I need to initialize each and every Text

Answer 1

You can simply use custom Text view like

public class HelveticaRagularTextView extends TextView {

public HelveticaRagularTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    init(attrs);
}

public HelveticaRagularTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    init(attrs);

}

public HelveticaRagularTextView(Context context) {
    super(context);
    init(null);
}

private void init(AttributeSet attrs) {
    // Just Change your font name
    Typeface myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), getContext().getResources().getString(R.string.font_helvetica_regular));
    setTypeface(myTypeface);
}

}

Now you can HelveticaRagularTextView in your xml.

This is very easy to use
