Frustration arise the moment you realise that you cannot use a custom font by setting TextView's android:typeface XML-attribute. AnyTextView is here to relieve your pain.
Add AnyTextView as a dependency in your pom.xml(s):
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ctrlplusz</groupId>
<artifactId>anytextview</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>apklib</type>
</dependency>Alternatively, download the .apklib and reference it from your project. If you're using Eclipse you must unzip the .apklib, and reference the extracted project.
-
Copy the fonts you want to use into the assets/fonts folder of your project
-
Add your application namespace to the root element in the XML file that is to contain AnyTextView's, e.g
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:foobar="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.foo.bar"
.. >- Instead of using
<TextView ..>use
<com.ctrplusz.anytextview.AnyTextView
foobar:typeface="FontFileName.ttf" ..> <!-- Where "foobar" is the namespace defined in step 2 -->- Profit!
