How to Set a Custom Font in the ActionBar Title?

Question

How (if possible) could I set a custom font in a ActionBar title text(only - not the tab text) with a font in my assets folder? I don\'t want to use the android:logo option.

Answer 1

The Calligraphy library let's you set a custom font through the app theme, which would also apply to the action bar.

All it takes to activate Calligraphy is attaching it to your Activity context:

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
    super.attachBaseContext(new CalligraphyContextWrapper(newBase));
}

The default custom attribute is fontPath, but you may provide your own custom attribute for the path by initializing it in your Application class with CalligraphyConfig.Builder. Usage of android:fontFamily has been discouraged.
