Check the family of a Typeface object in Android

Question

Is it possible to check what family a Typeface object is using in Android API 8?

I am creating the Typeface on a Paint object like so

//Simplified co         


        

Answer 1

If you look at the sources, you will see that the default ones are created with style DEFAULT (*), so:

Typeface paintTf = paint.getTypeface();
Typeface.SERIF.equals(Typeface.create(paintTf, Typeface.DEFAULT));

might do the job (here I check is family is serif).

NB: (*) is not true for DEFAULT_BOLD.
