在字体家族xml中将Costum字体添加到android

Question

In the android guides for Fonts in XML , they give the example of font family XML you create by adding:

android:font="@font/lobster_regular"

Which I think its the font you added to your assets/font folder. But when i try it I don't get it why it isn't able to find the font I've added. It only fins sans, serif and mono-space. Anyone have a clue what it might be the problem?

I know there are other ways to add a custom font, but due to the material calendar that I want to use, I need it to define in the styles XML, only way to customize it. I tried calligraphy lib , but does not help.

Answer 1

Using typeface you easily set font family

Typeface type = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
            "fonts/fontname");

now set this typeface to your textview

tv.setTypeface(type);

Answer 2

Add this to your activity code:

TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.appname);
Typeface face = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
            "fonts/fontname");

tv.setTypeface(face);

Note that for this you'll have to create a fonts folder at app/src/main/assets
