Using Custom fonts through XML.
1st Create the custom TextView through java,
package com.example.customfont;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.res.TypedArray;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class CustomTextView extends TextView {
private static final String TAG = "TextView";
public CustomTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
setCustomFont(context, attrs);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
setCustomFont(context, attrs);
}
private void setCustomFont(Context ctx, AttributeSet attrs) {
TypedArray a = ctx.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.TextViewPlus);
String customFont = a.getString(R.styleable.CustomTextView_customFont);
setCustomFont(ctx, customFont);
a.recycle();
}
public boolean setCustomFont(Context ctx, String asset) {
Typeface tf = null;
try {
tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(ctx.getAssets(), asset);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Could not get typeface: "+e.getMessage());
return false;
}
setTypeface(tf);
return true;
}
}
Then Add this lines to attrs.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="TextViewPlus">
<attr name="customFont" format="string"/>
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
Then implement in main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:foo="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.example.customfont"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.example.customfont.CustomTextView
android:id="@+id/textViewPlus1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:text="@string/app_name"
foo:customFont="arial.ttf">
</com.example.customfont.CustomTextView >
</LinearLayout>
package com.example.customfont;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.res.TypedArray;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class CustomTextView extends TextView {
private static final String TAG = "TextView";
public CustomTextView(Context context) {

}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
setCustomFont(context, attrs);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
setCustomFont(context, attrs);
}
private void setCustomFont(Context ctx, AttributeSet attrs) {
TypedArray a = ctx.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.TextViewPlus);
String customFont = a.getString(R.styleable.CustomTextView_customFont);
setCustomFont(ctx, customFont);
a.recycle();
}
public boolean setCustomFont(Context ctx, String asset) {
Typeface tf = null;
try {
tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(ctx.getAssets(), asset);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Could not get typeface: "+e.getMessage());
return false;
}
setTypeface(tf);
return true;
}
}
Then Add this lines to attrs.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="TextViewPlus">
<attr name="customFont" format="string"/>
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
