Android-TextFontStyle

Library for implementing custom Text Font/Typography using layout or style

TextFontStyle is a standalone library to ease the use of font .otf files across TextView .

Documentation

Apply font programmatically

I've seen code where the text font is applied .

TextView textView1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text1);
Typeface typefaceFajardo = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), getString(R.string.font_james_fajardo));
textView1.setTypeface(typefaceFajardo);

This way is hard to maintain.

Use a layout

The nice thing about using it in layout is :

• In the Java code , you don't have to change anything. Since TextViewStyle extends TextView , any reference to TextView will work. So any (TextView) findViewById will stay the same.
• You can centralize the text fonts in style.xml.

Get started

Just replace the TextView by

  <com.raychenon.TextViewStyle
      android:id="@+id/text_wifi"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:gravity="bottom"
      android:text="@string/loremipsum_long"
      ray:typeFace="@string/font_baroquescript"/>

Even better, now you can use a stytle to centralize the font in one place. Like this

    <com.raychenon.TextViewStyle
          android:id="@+id/text_license_middle"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:gravity="center"
          android:text="@string/text_license_apache2_url"
          style="@style/TextStyleStint"/>
    

where the style

    <style name="TextStyleBaroque" >
        <item name="typeFace">@string/font_baroquescript</item>
    </style>
