Change font for EditText in Android?

Question

Is there any way to change the font for a EditText in Android? I want it to match the font\'s I set for all my textViews.

Answer 1

First Method

use this code in your java class

    EditText et_brand=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.et_brand);
    et_brand.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"Aspergit Bold.ttf")); 
    //Aspergit Bold.ttf is Font style name of text

Second Method

1. Create a new java class and it as u want

   public class CustomTextView extends TextView {
   
   public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) 
   {
   super(context, attrs, defStyle);
   init();
   }
   
   public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
       super(context, attrs);
   init();
   }
   
   public CustomTextView(Context context) {
   super(context);
   init();
   }
   
   private void init() {
      Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), 
   "Aspergit Bold.ttf");
   setTypeface(tf);
   }
   }
   

2. Use it in your Xml file

                 <YourPackageNAme.CustomEditText
                  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:background="@null"/>
   

Answer 2

You can create font folder under res directory in last version Android studio 3 .Then copy and past it you'r font to font folder. Now just add fontFamily to EditText tag xml.

like below.

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/subject"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@id/headerShare"
            android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
            android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
            android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
            android:background="@drawable/edittext_bg"
            android:fontFamily="@font/ritaric"
            android:gravity="start"
            android:hint="Subject"
            android:inputType="text"
            android:maxHeight="50dp"
            android:padding="16dp"
            android:textColor="@color/black"
            android:textColorHint="@color/black"
            android:textSize="@dimen/colors_textview_size" />

We use android:fontFamily="@font/ritaric" for apply font on EditText.

Answer 3

Create a fonts folder on assets folder and put your .ttf font file, then into onCreate() function write:

EditText editText =(EditText)findViewById(R.id.insert_yors_edit_text_layout);
Typeface type = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/yours_font.ttf"); 
editText.setTypeface(type);

Solution1:: Just call these method by passing parent view as argument.

private void overrideFonts(final Context context, final View v) {
    try {
        if (v instanceof ViewGroup) {
            ViewGroup vg = (ViewGroup) v;
            for (int i = 0; i < vg.getChildCount(); i++) {
                View child = vg.getChildAt(i);
                overrideFonts(context, child);
         }
        } else if (v instanceof EditText) {
            ((TextView) v).setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "font.ttf"));
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
 }
}

Solution2:: you can subclass the TextView class with your custom font and use it instead of textview.

public class MyEditView extends EditText{

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

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

    public MyEditView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        init();
    }

    private void init() {
        if (!isInEditMode()) {
            Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "font.ttf");
            setTypeface(tf);
        }
    }

 }

void setFont(Context context, ViewGroup vg)
        {
          final String FONT_NAME = "lato_bold.ttf";
            for (int i = 0; i < vg.getChildCount(); i++)
                {
                    View v = vg.getChildAt(i);
                    if (v instanceof ViewGroup)
                        setFont(context, (ViewGroup) v);
                    else if (v instanceof TextView)
                        {
                            ((TextView) v).setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), FONT_NAME ));
                        }
                    else if (v instanceof EditText)
                        {
                            ((EditText) v).setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), FONT_NAME ));
                        }
                    else if (v instanceof Button)
                        {
                            ((Button) v).setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), FONT_NAME ));
                        }
                    else if (v instanceof CheckBox)
                        {
                            ((CheckBox) v).setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), FONT_NAME ));
                        }
                    else if (v instanceof RadioButton)
                        {
                            ((RadioButton) v).setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), FONT_NAME ));
                        }
                }
        }

In your Activity or Fragment , get the main layout

Inflater inflater = (Inflater) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
//For Activity
//Inflater inflater = (Inflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.main_fragment, container, false);
//For Activity
//View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.signup_fragment, null, false);
if (v instanceof ViewGroup)
    {
      setFont(getActivity(), (ViewGroup) v);
      //For Activity
     //setFont(this, (ViewGroup) v);
    }
