For implementing custom font i seen few examples here issue is different,I am taking custom font in one abstract class which is used in all over the application.i am unable to change the fonts.
thanks in advance.
Create the custom class like below.
public class CustomTextView extends TextView {
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
init(attrs);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init(attrs);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
init(null);
}
private void init(AttributeSet attrs) {
if (attrs!=null) {
TypedArray a = getContext().obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.CustomTextView);
String fontName = a.getString(R.styleable.CustomTextView_fontName);
if (fontName!=null) {
Typeface myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/"+fontName);
setTypeface(myTypeface);
}
a.recycle();
}
}
}
and add your font in assets>fonts folder.
add following in attrs.xml
<declare-styleable name="CustomTextView">
<attr name="fontName" format="string" />
</declare-styleable>
to use.
<com.abc.cusomclass.CustomTextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:fontName="/*name of your font from assets/font folder*/"/>
You can do like this.
You have to add your .tff file on the assets folder
ArialMTBoldRegularTextView.java:
public final class ArialMTBoldRegularTextView extends CustomTextView {
public static final String FONT_PATH = "arial-rounded-mt-bold.ttf";
public ArialMTBoldRegularTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
setFont(FONT_PATH);
}
public ArialMTBoldRegularTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attributeSet) {
super(context, attributeSet);
setFont(FONT_PATH);
}
public ArialMTBoldRegularTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attributeSet, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attributeSet, defStyleAttr);
setFont(FONT_PATH);
}
public void setFont(String fontPath) {
changeFont(this, fontPath);
}
public static void changeFont(final CompoundButton button, final String fontPath) {
Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(button.getContext().getAssets(), fontPath);
button.setTypeface(typeface);
}
}
CustomTextView.java
public class CustomTextView extends TextView {
public CustomTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attributeSet) {
super(context, attributeSet);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attributeSet, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attributeSet, defStyleAttr);
}
public Typeface getFont(final Context context, final String fontPath) {
return Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), fontPath);
}
public void changeFont(final TextView textView, final String fontPath) {
Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(textView.getContext().getAssets(), fontPath);
textView.setTypeface(typeface);
}
public void changeFont(final CompoundButton button, final String fontPath) {
Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(button.getContext().getAssets(), fontPath);
button.setTypeface(typeface);
}
}
and fater in xml:
<packagename.views.ArialMTBoldRegularTextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Pseudo"/>
try this for custom font fron Assets
// Font path
String fontPath = "fonts/Face Your Fears.ttf";
// text view label
TextView txtGhost = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.ghost);
// Loading Font Face
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), fontPath);
// Applying font
txtGhost.setTypeface(tf);
for more information check this,
http://www.androidhive.info/2012/02/android-using-external-fonts/
now android Support Library 26 supports using fonts directly from your XML see the doc for more details.
The better way of doing this is to make custom TextView with custom font like this:
Java
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class RegularProximaTextView extends TextView {
public static Typeface FONT_NAME;
public RegularProximaTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
if(FONT_NAME == null) FONT_NAME =
Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/Mark Simonson -
Proxima Nova Regular.otf");
this.setTypeface(FONT_NAME);
}
public RegularProximaTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
if(FONT_NAME == null) FONT_NAME =
Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/Mark Simonson -
Proxima
Nova Regular.otf");
this.setTypeface(FONT_NAME);
}
public RegularProximaTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int
defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
if(FONT_NAME == null) FONT_NAME =
Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/Mark Simonson -
Proxima Nova Regular.otf");
this.setTypeface(FONT_NAME);
}
}

I am using custom Edittext like this
public class DosisEdittextFont extends TextView {
public DosisEdittextFont(Context context) {
super(context);
init(context);
}
public DosisEdittextFont(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init(context);
}
public DosisEdittextFont(Context context, AttributeSet attrs,
int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
init(context);
}
private void init(Context context) {
Typeface t = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),
"fonts/Dosis-Regular.otf");
this.setTypeface(t);
}
}
But because of that cursor is not showing in EditText. how to set cursor in custom EditText?
You may extends EditText instead of TextView
Try This
public class CustomEditText extends EditText {
public CustomEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
if(!isInEditMode())
init(attrs);
}
public CustomEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
if(!isInEditMode())
init(attrs);
}
public CustomEditText(Context context) {
super(context);
if(!isInEditMode())
init(null);
}
private void init(AttributeSet attrs)
{
if (attrs!=null)
{
TypedArray a = getContext().obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.CustomTextView);
String fontName = a.getString(R.styleable.CustomTextView_fontFamily);
if (fontName!=null)
{
Typeface myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/"+fontName);
setTypeface(myTypeface);
}
a.recycle();
}
}
}
To Use In Your Layout
<CustomEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/etEmailId"
android:hint="#string/email"
android:textColor="#color/input_text_color"
android:textColorHint="#color/input_text_color"
customfont:fontFamily="YOUR FONT NAME.ttf"
/>
Reason for not appearance of cursor in edittext are many like your theme appearance
i.e. theme style or edittext background and one is that you extending TextView,
so try extending EditText in place of TextView as:
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class CustomEditText extends EditText {
private Context context;
private AttributeSet attrs;
private int defStyle;
public CustomEditText(Context context) {
super(context);
this.context = context;
init();
}
public CustomEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
this.context = context;
this.attrs = attrs;
init();
}
public CustomEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
this.context = context;
this.attrs = attrs;
this.defStyle = defStyle;
init();
}
private void init() {
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/montserrat_bold.ttf");
this.setTypeface(font);
}
#Override
public void setTypeface(Typeface tf, int style) {
tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/montserrat_bold.ttf");
super.setTypeface(tf, style);
}
#Override
public void setTypeface(Typeface tf) {
tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/montserrat_bold.ttf");
super.setTypeface(tf);
}
}
and in you layout xml
<com.example.CustomEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/edittext"
android:hint="text"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textColorHint="#000000"/>
So, try replacing textview with edittext , if still not resolve, this
occurs due to your activity theme or your edittext background
I need to style the text for textview as per the below image
The font being used is CARTER ONE font
This is my textview class
public class CustomTextViewCarter extends TextView {
private static Typeface mTypeface;
public CustomTextViewCarter(final Context context) {
this(context, null);
}
public CustomTextViewCarter(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, 0);
}
public CustomTextViewCarter(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs, final int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
if (!isInEditMode()) {
if (mTypeface == null) {
mTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getResources().getAssets(), "carter_one.ttf");
}
setTypeface(mTypeface);
}
}
}
But the the same kind of text doesn't appear. How can it be done?
Use this code for show custom TextView
Step-1:
CustomTextView.java
public class CustomTextView extends TextView {
private static final String TAG = "TextView";
public CustomTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
setCustomFont(context, attrs);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
setCustomFont(context, attrs);
}
private void setCustomFont(Context ctx, AttributeSet attrs) {
TypedArray a = ctx.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs,R.styleable.CustomTV);
String customFont = a.getString(R.styleable.CustomTV_customFont);
setCustomFont(ctx, customFont);
a.recycle();
}
public boolean setCustomFont(Context ctx, String asset) {
Typeface tf = null;
try {
tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(ctx.getAssets(), asset);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Could not get typeface: "+e.getMessage());
return false;
}
setTypeface(tf);
return true;
}
}
Step-2:
After that write below code in your styles.xml file
<declare-styleable name="CustomTV">
<attr name="customFont" format="string"></attr>
</declare-styleable>
Step-3:
Use CustomTextView in your xml file
Here com.app.demo is my package name.. use your package name instead of that,
<com.app.demo.CustomTextView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="hello"
android:textColor="#color/text"
android:textStyle="bold"
app:customFont="carter_one.ttf" />
Try this.
You can set ttf by making your own textview implementation.
It will works above API 15 (Ice cream sandwich).
https://stackoverflow.com/a/5185587/850347
<com.lht.ui.MyTextView
android:text="Hello friends"
lht:ttf_name="ITCBLKAD.TTF"
/>
How to add custom font to it?
This is my code:
public void run() {
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(DiaListActivity.this, diaList, R.layout.list_item, new String[]{TAG_SRNO, TAG_NAME}, new int[]{R.id.srno, R.id.name});
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
any help will be appreciated.
In R.layout.list_item layout file if you have any textview then you can set this below code::-
<com.example.TextViewPlus
android:id="#+id/textViewPlus1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:text="#string/showingOffTheNewTypeface"
foo:customFont="saxmono.ttf">
</com.example.TextViewPlus>
Put these class file into your package:
TextViewPlus.java
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.res.TypedArray;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class TextViewPlus extends TextView {
private static final String TAG = "TextView";
public TextViewPlus(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public TextViewPlus(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
setCustomFont(context, attrs);
}
public TextViewPlus(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
setCustomFont(context, attrs);
}
private void setCustomFont(Context ctx, AttributeSet attrs) {
TypedArray a = ctx.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.TextViewPlus);
String customFont = a.getString(R.styleable.TextViewPlus_customFont);
setCustomFont(ctx, customFont);
a.recycle();
}
public boolean setCustomFont(Context ctx, String asset) {
Typeface tf = null;
try {
tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(ctx.getAssets(), asset);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Could not get typeface: "+e.getMessage());
return false;
}
setTypeface(tf);
return true;
}
}
attrs.xml: (in res/values)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="TextViewPlus">
<attr name="customFont" format="string"/>
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
What I usually do is, create a custom TextView and set it as the view of my contents,
public class CustomTextView extends TextView {
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public void setTypeface(Typeface tf, int style) {
if (style == Typeface.BOLD) {
super.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf"));
} else {
super.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/Roboto-Light.ttf"));
}
}
}
Now simply replace your regular TextView with the Custom one like this,
<TextView
android:id="#+id/R.id.srno"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
Into,
<com.example.CustomTextView
android:id="#+id/R.id.srno"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
This will change the normal TextView with the custom one and hence will add the font.
Note: Make sure you have crated a folder called "fonts" and put the fonts file there.
If can also customize and add different fonts just by adding a single line,
e.g. If you use,
android:textStyle="bold"
It will set the font type Roboto-Regular.ttf. Which is defined here in CustomTextView class,
if (style == Typeface.BOLD) {
super.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf"));
}
Got it...
#Override
public View getView(int pos, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){
View v = convertView;
if(v == null) {
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
v = vi.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
}
HashMap<String,String> value = diaList.get(pos);
TextView tv = (TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.name);
Typeface custom_fontG = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/oriya.ttf");
tv.setTypeface(custom_fontG);
tv.setText(value.get(TAG_NAME));
TextView tv2 = (TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.srno);
Typeface custom_fontH = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/oriya.ttf");
tv2.setTypeface(custom_fontH);
tv2.setText(value.get(TAG_SRNO));
return v;
}
};
// updating listview
setListAdapter(adapter);
By default to change textColor programatically is :
textView.setTextColor(Color.RED);
I need to have a custom Textview to change typeface and color by default, How can change textcolor from CustomTextView class, here is my code.
public class CustomTextView extends TextView {
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public void setTypeface(Typeface tf, int style) {
if(!isInEditMode()) {
if (style == Typeface.BOLD) {
super.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/Lato-Bold.ttf"));
} else if(style == Typeface.ITALIC){ // constant used to set Lato-Light.
super.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/Lato-Light.ttf"));
}else {
super.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/Lato-Regular.ttf"));
}
}
}
The below code is the way to set your default text color and typeface.
public class CustomTextView extends TextView {
public CustomTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
init(context);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init(context);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
init(context);
}
private void init(Context context) {
setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),"fonts/Lato-Light.ttf"));
setTextColor(Color.RED);
}
}
The init() method gets called every time the text view gets created, and will then set the typeface and color in that. You can manipulate any other variables you want to in there.
Use setTextColor(Color.RED); after each super in each constructor.
Step 1
In the /assets directory (not the /resource directory), create a folder called /fonts. Copy your custom font here. You can use both TTF and OTF fonts.
Step 2
In the /res/values folder, create a new file called attrs.xml. This is how the Android SDK lets you name custom properties for your widgets.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="MyTextView">
<attr name="fontName" format="string" />
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
Step 3
In /res/layouts, you will need to include your to-be-created custom text view in the activity_main.xml file.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:customfontdemo="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:padding="12dp"
android:text="Standard Android Font" />
<com.authorwjf.customfontdemo.MyTextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="32sp"
android:padding="12dp"
customfontdemo:fontName="pipe_dream.ttf"
android:text="Custom Android Font" />
</LinearLayout>
Step 4
In the /src folder, you will want to create your MyTextView class. It extends the standard text view, plucks the font name from the custom attribute, and applies the type face.
package com.authorwjf.customfontdemo;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.res.TypedArray;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MyTextView extends TextView {
public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
init(attrs);
}
public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init(attrs);
}
public MyTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
init(null);
}
private void init(AttributeSet attrs) {
setTextColor(Color.RED);
if (attrs!=null) {
TypedArray a = getContext().obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.MyTextView);
String fontName = a.getString(R.styleable.MyTextView_fontName);
if (fontName!=null) {
Typeface myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/"+fontName);
setTypeface(myTypeface);
}
a.recycle();
}
}
}
Step 5
Because the text view is now self-contained, you aren't required to make any modifications to our /src/MainAcitivity.java file.
package com.authorwjf.customfontdemo;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
I have followed the tutorial given in below link:
http://www.androidhive.info/2013/07/android-expandable-list-view-tutorial/
How can I give custom font(typeface) to textviews in list_group.xml and list_item.xml.
I have copied Arial.ttf file into assets folder.
Please help me.
You can create a custom textview as I have done here by overriding the TextView Class and then instead of using TextView in your xml you use CustomTextView:
public class CustomTextView extends TextView {
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
init(context, attrs);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init(context, attrs);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
private void init(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
}
#Override
public void setTypeface(Typeface tf, int style) {
if (!isInEditMode()) {
Typeface normalTypeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext()
.getAssets(), "Esans.ttf");
Typeface boldTypeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext()
.getAssets(), "EsansBol.ttf");
Typeface lightTypeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext()
.getAssets(), "EsansLig.ttf");
Typeface mediumTypeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext()
.getAssets(), "EsansMed.ttf");
//Modifying styles to support the different styles of custom font
switch (style) {
case Typeface.NORMAL:
super.setTypeface(normalTypeFace);
break;
case Typeface.BOLD:
super.setTypeface(boldTypeFace);
break;
case Typeface.ITALIC:
super.setTypeface(lightTypeFace);
break;
case Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC:
super.setTypeface(mediumTypeFace);
break;
default:
super.setTypeface(normalTypeFace);
break;
}
}
}
}
You can try this to add typeface in xml
public class TextViewPlus extends TextView {
private static final String TAG = "TextView";
public TextViewPlus(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public TextViewPlus(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
setCustomFont(context, attrs);
}
public TextViewPlus(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
setCustomFont(context, attrs);
}
private void setCustomFont(Context ctx, AttributeSet attrs) {
TypedArray a = ctx.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.TextViewPlus);
String customFont = a.getString(R.styleable.TextViewPlus_customFont);
setCustomFont(ctx, customFont);
a.recycle();
}
public boolean setCustomFont(Context ctx, String asset) {
Typeface tf = null;
try {
tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(ctx.getAssets(), asset);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Could not get typeface: "+e.getMessage());
return false;
}
setTypeface(tf);
return true;
}
}
in your xml
<com.icl.examples.TextViewPlus
android:id="#+id/textViewPlus1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:text="#string/info_text"
android:textColor="#color/White"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textSize="50sp"
foo:customFont="Bamini.ttf">
</com.icl.examples.TextViewPlus>
add this to resources, res->values-attrs.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="TextViewPlus">
<attr name="customFont" format="string"/>
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
