在资源中设置粗体文本（自定义字体）

Question

I have a text in my android app, I use a custom font and for each bold word in the text I want to use the Bold version of my font.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc ut feugiat neque. Pellentesque vel lorem ut tortor varius congue. In arcu nibh, sodales quis tempus in, hendrerit sit amet ante. Nam eu massa a purus tincidunt condimentum. Integer at turpis nec elit elementum rutrum. Nunc varius sem eu velit fermentum volutpat.

How do I do this? I know I can add a html tag in the resources file like this:

<string name="register"><b>Copyright</b></string>

But this uses the bold version of the default font and not of my custom font.

I use this library = https://github.com/neopixl/PixlUI to set the font in xml like this

<com.neopixl.pixlui.components.textview.TextView
            android:id="@+id/edt_birthday"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Birthday"
            pixlui:typeface="AvenirNextCondensed_Regular.ttf" />

Answer 1

You can use the Html.fromHtml() method with the <strong> tag when passing your String . But it means that you have to set the text of your View dynamically.

For example:

String myString = Html.fromHtml("lorem <strong>dolor sit amet</strong>");
myTextView.setText(myString);

It will display:

lorem dolor sit amet

Answer 2

All you have to do is to set the content dynamically on TextView

First add a TextView in the layout where you need and use this code and set this String to your textview:

String styledText = "<font color='#000000'>" + " Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc ut feugiat neque." + "</font>" + "<br />" + "<b>" + "Pellentesque "+ "</b>" + "<font color='#000000'>" + "vel lorem ut tortor varius congue. In " + "</font> </small>" + "<b>" + "arcu "+ "</b>"+"<font color='#000000'>" + " nibh, sodales quis tempus in, hendrerit sit amet ante. Nam eu massa a purus tincidunt condimentum. Integer at turpis nec elit elementum rutrum. Nunc varius sem eu velit fermentum volutpat." + "</font>";
textview.setText(Html.fromHtml(styledText));`
