Android: upload custom font to SD card

Question

Can I use a special font in Android that is stored on an SD card? What I have seen so far indicates that the font file should be in the resource folder. Please tell me that I am wrong.

Answer 1

I have not tried it myself, but the recipe states that you can do this using

Typeface.createFromFile(String path)

Answer 2

Typeface.createFromFile() accepts a String or File path.

 Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromFile( new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "font.ttf"));
