WORK IN PROGRESS

Excuse the mess.

(This project still has a long way to go, and doesn't work as described just yet. Stay tuned.)

Purpose

Apply custom fonts to views in layout xml files. This is done through ELI (Enhanced Layout Inflater).

Setup

TODO

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }

    @Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
        super.attachBaseContext(new ELIContextWrapper(newBase, new ELIConfig.Builder()
                .addHook(new FontHook("fonts/my_default_font.ttf"))
                .build()));
    }
}

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Default. Should apply defaulted font" />

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Test 1 (Candy)"
    app:font="fonts/candy.ttf" />

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Test 2 (Scriptina)"
    app:font="fonts/scriptina.ttf" />

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="TextAppearance test"
    android:textAppearance="@style/textStyleWithFont" />

Weirdness, caveats and other peculiar behaviours

Doesn't currently work for ActionBarTitle. This is not because the ActionBarTitle is weird in any way, and can't support font's, but just that it's created in a weird way that isn't picked up by the ELI library.

Todo:

Fix ActionBarTitle issue
Test more plattforms for compatibility
Account for latest font changes in latest android versions
