UniFont

A small Android library which allows you to set the overall font in an XML/ViewGroup!

Tired of setting the typeFace for every view you want to change the font?

Now you can do it in one line of code!

Getting started

First of all, you have to include jCenter() repository in your build.gradle:

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

Then, you need to add the following line to your dependencies {} in your build.gradle:

compile 'com.iancuio.libraries:unifont:1.02'

Now you're ready to use it! Now let's talk a bit about how to use it.

Usage

To use UniFont, you have to add the following line of code to you Activity/Fragment onCreate{}/onViewCreated{}:

UniFont.with(context).setFont("YourFont.ttf").apply(ViewGroup/Container);

In your Activity onCreate{}:

 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
        
        UniFont.with(this).setFont("YourFont.ttf").apply(ViewGroup/Container);
    }

Or in your Fragment onViewCreated{}:

 @Override
    public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
        
        UniFont.with(getActivity()).setFont("YourFont.ttf").apply(ViewGroup/Container);
    }

Now let's explain it a bit.

with(context) - With this method you give the context to UniFont.

setFont("YourFont.ttf") - This sets the font you want to use in your chosen Container/Layout.

IMPORTANT!!

The font must be put under assets/fonts or else it will not work.

Example:

Now choose your desired font and set it to UniFont:(Here I will chose the "OpenSansRegular.ttf")

In your Activity onCreate{}:

 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
        
        UniFont.with(this).setFont("Kikelet.ttf").apply(container);
    }

Or in your Fragment onViewCreated{}:

 @Override
    public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
        
        UniFont.with(getActivity()).setFont("Kikelet.ttf").apply(container);
    }

apply(ViewGroup/Container) - With this method you give to UniFont the Layout/Container in which you want to set the font in and apply the changes.

Example:

If you want to set the font for the whole XML, you just have to give an ID to your top level Layout that contains all your views in that XML:

layout.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/container">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/layout_textView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="TEXT" />
        
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/layout_textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="TEXT" />
    
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/layout_textView2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="TEXT" />
        
</LinearLayout>

As you can see, I have set an ID to the LinearLayout that contains the TextViews.

android:id="@+id/container"

Now, I will define in my Activity/Fragment as any other view:

LinearLayout container = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.container);

And set it to UniFont:

In your Activity onCreate{}:

 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
        
        UniFont.with(this).setFont("YourFont.ttf").apply(ViewGroup/Container);
    }

Or in your Fragment onViewCreated{}:

 @Override
    public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
        
        UniFont.with(getActivity()).setFont("YourFont.ttf").apply(ViewGroup/Container);
    }

Additionally, you can set the font for a sub-layout in your main layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/container">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/layout_textView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="TEXT" />
        
      <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/subContainer">
        
        <TextView
          android:id="@+id/layout_textView1"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:text="TEXT" />
    
      <TextView
          android:id="@+id/layout_textView2"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:text="TEXT" />
          
    </LinearLayout>
        
</LinearLayout>

I have set an ID to the LinearLayout that contains the two TextViews.

android:id="@+id/subContainer"

You can do the same as earlier. The "subContainer" will have your set font, and the "container" will be left untouched.

UniFont.with(this/getActivity()).setFont("YourFont.ttf").apply(subContainer);

Additionally additionally, you can set the two or more different fonts for you main layout and the sub-layouts in your XML. The font will be overwritten in the order of calling UniFont:

UniFont.with(this/getActivity()).setFont("OpenSansRegular.ttf").apply(container);
UniFont.with(this/getActivity()).setFont("Kikelet.ttf").apply(container);

The "container" and all his children will have the "OpenSansRegular.ttf" font, but the "subContainer" will have "Kikelet.ttf" font, overriding the previous font. You can do that for any view in your chosen XML.

apply(); - This methos is pretty much self explanatory.

Now your font will be applied to your chosen Layout!

Hope it will be useful for you guys.
