Is there another way to use custom fonts than use "setTypeface" directly on your view like in the following code lines?
typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/ xyz.TTF"); textview.setTypeface(typeface); The best way to use a custom font I can imagine is by setting it globally in your theme style. But it seems to be impossible to define your settings in xml. To avoid an exessive usage of the findViewById method, which is also told to be quite expensive, the next preferred way would be to override your View classes and use them in your xml (reduces the amount of java code). I tried to override TextView and set the font in the constructor. This is working quite good but textstyles like "bold" or italic" got lost this way although I tried to keep it by mappig the constructor Parameter "AttributeSet attr" by "setTypeface(typeface, attr.textStyle);" or by overriding the method "setTypeface (Typeface tf)"; by "setTypeface(typeface, tf.getStyle());" That was not working. So has somebody figured out a way to solve this issue? Thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
