Install Gujarati Text on Spinner in Android

Question

I am developing an Android application in the Gujarati language, you need to install the Gujarati text on the Spinner widget. So, I learned how to install custom fonts on Spinner from HERE.

But the problem is that I get the boxes instead of the actual text. My text for spinner comes from string resources. Code attachment.

public class SpinnerExActivity extends Activity { Spinner mySpinner; Typeface myFont; String[] items; MyArrayAdapter ma; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_spinner_ex); mySpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1); items=getResources().getStringArray(R.array.items); myFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/SHRUTIB.TTF"); ma=new MyArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.my_spinner_style); ma.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); } private class MyArrayAdapter extends ArrayAdapter { public MyArrayAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId) { super(context, textViewResourceId); } public TextView getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { TextView v = (TextView) super.getView(position, convertView, parent); v.setTypeface(myFont); v.setText(items[position]); return v; } public TextView getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { TextView v = (TextView) super.getView(position, convertView, parent); v.setTypeface(myFont); return v; } } 

I get boxes when I try to do this on an emulator. But when I try to do this on my tablet, I get nothing.

Any help would be noticeable.

EDIT This Works :: Thanx to this.

 public class SpinnerExActivity extends Activity { Spinner mySpinner; Typeface myFont; String[] items; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_spinner_ex); mySpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1); items=getResources().getStringArray(R.array.items); myFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/SHRUTIB.TTF"); ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.my_spinner_style, items) { public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { View v = super.getView(position, convertView, parent); Typeface externalFont=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/SHRUTIB.TTF"); ((TextView) v).setTypeface(externalFont); ((TextView) v).setText(items[position]); ((TextView) v).setTextColor(Color.BLACK); return v; } public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { View v =super.getDropDownView(position, convertView, parent); Typeface externalFont=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/SHRUTIB.TTF"); ((TextView) v).setTypeface(externalFont); ((TextView) v).setText(items[position]); return v; } }; adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); mySpinner.setAdapter(adapter); }

You should look at this:

check below code:

 package com.example.main.util; import android.app.Activity; import android.graphics.Typeface; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.LayoutInflater; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.widget.BaseAdapter; import android.widget.Spinner; import android.widget.TextView; import com.example.testapp.R; public class testActivity extends Activity { private static final String[] COUNTRIES = new String[] { "Belgium", "France", "Italy", "Germany", "Spain" }; private Spinner mySpinner; private Typeface myFont; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.newlay); mySpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1); myFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "gujarti.ttf"); MyArrayAdapter ma = new MyArrayAdapter(this); mySpinner.setAdapter(ma); } private class MyArrayAdapter extends BaseAdapter { private LayoutInflater mInflater; public MyArrayAdapter(testActivity con) { // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(con); } @Override public int getCount() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return COUNTRIES.length; } @Override public Object getItem(int position) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return position; } @Override public long getItemId(int position) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return position; } @Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub final ListContent holder; View v = convertView; if (v == null) { v = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.my_spinner_style, null); holder = new ListContent(); holder.name = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.textView1); v.setTag(holder); } else { holder = (ListContent) v.getTag(); } holder.name.setTypeface(myFont); holder.name.setText("" + COUNTRIES[position]); return v; } } static class ListContent { TextView name; } } 

Best luck!
