Add to your project
Add this line to your dependencies in build.gradle
compile 'in.workarounds.typography:typography:0.0.8'
Using the views
There are two important attributes that define a font
font_name
Ex: 'Roboto', 'Helvetica'font_variant
Ex: 'Bold', 'Condensed'
So if you want to add a TextView with the font 'Roboto-Condensed', you add the following to your layout file
<in.workarounds.typography.TextView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:font_name="Roboto"
app:font_variant="Condensed"
android:textSize="16sp" />
You can utilize the following views to improve the typography in your app: in.workarounds.typography.
- TextView
- EditText
- AutoCompleteTextView
- Button
- Checkbox
- RadioButton
- ToggleButton
Font Files
Place your fonts in assets/fonts/
folder and use the following naming convention
`<font_name>-<font_variant>.<ext>`
<ext>
can be ttf
or otf
. Both font_name
and font_variant
attribute are case insensitive.
Note: If you want to use Roboto.ttf
, do not use the font_variant
attribute.
FontLoader
FontLoader
is the class responsible for caching the Typeface
s and setting the fonts to the Views.
Set the default font name and font variant in your Application class
FontLoader.setDefaultFont(fontName, fontVariant)
Enable detailed logs(errors are always logged)
FontLoader.setLoggingEnabled(true)
