Class Fonts

java.lang.Object

com.alexvasilkov.android.commons.texts.Fonts

public final class Fonts
extends java.lang.Object

Fonts helper. Helps to manage custom fonts in application.

First of all you're need to put your fonts into assets directory and define them as string resources (i.e. in fonts.xml):

     <resources>
         <string name="font_arial_regular">fonts/Arial-Regular.ttf</string>
         <string name="font_arial_bold">font:path/to/font/Arial-Bold.ttf</string>
     </resources>
 

Note: this class will only use fonts under fonts/ directory and fonts starting with font: prefix.

Now you can use custom fonts in your XML layouts using android:tag attribute:

     <TextView
         ...
         android:tag="@string/font_arial_regular" />
 

And last step you should call one of Fonts.apply(...) methods:

apply(android.app.Activity)
apply(android.view.View)
apply(android.widget.TextView, int)
apply(android.widget.TextView, String)
