Font resource could not be retrieved

Question

I\'m using compileSdk and targetSdk version 27 and in last release I used new font resource feature for my project but after a day I got 3 crashes

Answer 1

I had the same problem with a TTF file in R.font when using ResourcesCompat.getFont().

It turns out that Android didn't like this TTF file for some reason. There was no info in logcat, but debugging showed that TypefaceCompat.createFromResourcesFontFile() failed.

I replaced the TTF file with another, similar font and had no problems since.
