Where should I put the “ttf” files in an Android project?

Question

I'm trying to use fonts in my project using Typeface. I copied the "font.ttf" into a folder named "fonts" inside "assets" folder. But eclipse do not allow to compile it. It shows an error on fonts folder. What should I do?

The error I get is:

Please first clean your project then check again.

Thank you everybody for answers. But i managed to make it work by doing following

"clean your project with Project menu > clean tab then build your project

If it's still unsolved, configure build path by right click on project > build path > android > restore default

I hope this is helpful"

answer found at Error in Android project name in Eclipse

Answer 5

As of Android Studio 1.5.1 you can:

1. Right click on your app directory
2. New > Folder (this is near the bottom of the list and is easy to miss) > Assets Folder
3. In most cases you can leave the folder location as the default > Finish
4. Move your files into the newly created assets folder

Answer 6

Since font organization and utilization has changes in Android 8 (API 26), it is now recommended to put your fonts into /res/font/ directory and access them with:

(Typeface) ResourcesCompat.getFont(context, R.font.your_font_bold);

which will return a Typeface object you needed.

Answer 7

You should put fonts inside this path

\app\src\main\assets\fonts

[Note : Create a new directory(Folder) inside the assests directory in the above patha i have created ]

Then put your ttf font file inside the fonts directory . You can set your font like this way :

Typeface anyName  = Typeface.createFromAsset(Context,"fonts/yourFontFileName.ttf");

simpleTextView.setTypeface(anyName);
