How to install a font in Android?

Question

I developed an Andriod RSS feed reader. I used my own list to display RSS headers and its images. Now I want to change the font of the RSS headings. How can I set the font to the text representation of the header?

Here is my adapter class in which I set the Textview header.

Adapter.java

public class InternationalAdapter extends BaseAdapter { private Activity activity; private ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> data; private static LayoutInflater inflater=null; public ImageLoader imageLoader; public InternationalAdapter(Activity a, ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> d) { activity = a; data=d; inflater = (LayoutInflater)activity.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); imageLoader=new ImageLoader(activity.getApplicationContext()); } public int getCount() { return data.size(); } public Object getItem(int position) { return position; } public long getItemId(int position) { return position; } public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { View vi=convertView; if(convertView==null) vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_row, null); TextView title = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.title); // For this Textview I want to set Typeface. TextView date = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.artist); ImageView thumb_image=(ImageView)vi.findViewById(R.id.list_image); HashMap<String, String> news = new HashMap<String, String>(); news = data.get(position); // Setting all values in listview title.setText(International.Title[position]); date.setText(International.Date[position]); imageLoader.DisplayImage(International.image[position], thumb_image); return vi; } } 

Answer 1

You can use this,

  public class InternationalAdapter extends BaseAdapter { private Activity activity; private ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> data; private static LayoutInflater inflater=null; public ImageLoader imageLoader; public InternationalAdapter(Activity a, ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> d) { activity = a; data=d; inflater = (LayoutInflater)activity.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); imageLoader=new ImageLoader(activity.getApplicationContext()); } public int getCount() { return data.size(); } public Object getItem(int position) { return position; } public long getItemId(int position) { return position; } public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { View vi=convertView; if(convertView==null) vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_row, null); TextView title = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.title); // For this Textview I want to set Typeface. TextView date = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.artist); //Added Here Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset( activity.getAssets(), "fonts/androidnation.ttf"); title .setTypeface(font); ImageView thumb_image=(ImageView)vi.findViewById(R.id.list_image); HashMap<String, String> news = new HashMap<String, String>(); news = data.get(position); // Setting all values in listview title.setText(International.Title[position]); date.setText(International.Date[position]); imageLoader.DisplayImage(International.image[position], thumb_image); return vi; } } 

Answer 2

try it

 Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset( getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/androidnation.ttf"); title .setTypeface(font); 

Answer 3

 EditText edittext =(EditText) findViewById(R.id.ed); String path="F:\\MTCORSVA.TTF"; Typeface tf=Typeface.createFromFile(path); edittext.setTypeface(tf); 

you can use this :)

Answer 4

use custome textview as below and set the font there

  public class MyTextView extends TextView{ public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) { super(context, attrs, defStyle); init(); rotate(); } public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs); init(); rotate(); } public MyTextView(Context context) { super(context); init(); rotate(); } private void rotate() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub setSelected(true); } private void init() { if (!isInEditMode()) { Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/TrajanPro-Regular.otf"); setTypeface(tf); } } } 

and in the xml list line in list_row layout add textview as

  <YourpackageName.MyTextView android:layout_marginTop="10dip" android:id="@+id/title" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:textSize="22px" android:textColor="#34A4c5" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:maxWidth="220dp" android:fadingEdge="horizontal" android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever" android:scrollHorizontally="true" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" android:layout_marginRight="10dp"></YourpackageName.MyTextView> 

here the u property is used more, which can be removed, which is not required, and in your getview method define it as

  MyTextView title = (MyTextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.title); 

Answer 5

You can use this library to change the font on any representation, you just need to pass the font file name using the xml binding code. https://github.com/ChathuraHettiarachchi/TypeFaced

1.textview

2.edittext

3.switch

4.toggle

5.button

6.radiobutton

7.checkbox

 <com.chootdev.typefaced.TypeFacedTextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Hello World!" app:textView_font="YOUR_FONT_NAME.ttf/> 

Answer 6

We can also use this method:

 t.setTypeface(Typeface.MONOSPACE,Typeface.BOLD); 

Here monocosmos is a font.
