copied!<p>There is a fairly easy way to do this via XML. You just need to create your own widget that extends TextView.</p> <p>First, create a file in res/values/attrs.xml with the following content:</p> <pre><code><resources> <declare-styleable name="TypefacedTextView"> <attr name="typeface" format="string" /> </declare-styleable> </resources> </code></pre> <p>After that, create your custom widget:</p> <pre><code>package your.package.widget; public class TypefacedTextView extends TextView { public TypefacedTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs); //Typeface.createFromAsset doesn't work in the layout editor. Skipping... if (isInEditMode()) { return; } TypedArray styledAttrs = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.TypefacedTextView); String fontName = styledAttrs.getString(R.styleable.TypefacedTextView_typeface); styledAttrs.recycle(); if (fontName != null) { Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), fontName); setTypeface(typeface); } } } </code></pre> <p>As you can see, the code above will read a font inside the assets/ folder. For this example, I am assuming that there is a file called "custom.ttf" in the assets folder. At last, use the widget in the XMLs:</p> <pre><code><your.package.widget.TypefacedTextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:your_namespace="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/your.package" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Custom fonts in XML are easy" android:textColor="#FFF" android:textSize="14dip" your_namespace:typeface="custom.ttf" /> </code></pre> <p>Note: you won't be able to see your custom font in Eclipse's layout editor. This is why I put the <code>isInEditMode()</code> check. But if you run your app, the custom font will work like a charm.</p> <p>Hope it helps!</p>
