在Android Studio中预览自定义字体

Question

Currently I'm using the pixlui library to use custom fonts, and it's great! https://github.com/neopixl/PixlUI

Is there any way to preview the custom fonts in Android Studio?

Answer 1

I have created a Library called Smart Fonts for Android. It allows you to preview the custom fonts in the Layout Editor of Android Studio.

The fonts are cached in memory so that they are loaded once.

Smart Fonts is easy to integrate with gradle, it is documented and available on GitHub:

enjoy!

Answer 2

Unfortunately no. The way that PixelUI is setting the font doesn't work in the previewer.

They are only setting font in one constructor as is visible here: https://github.com/neopixl/PixlUI/blob/master/Library/src/com/neopixl/pixlui/components/textview/TextView.java

The constructor the editor is using is the second one, and the font is not set when the TextView is constructed this way.
