I need to add new fonts to my project
where do i create it in android studio
Can someone advise if i create it in the correct directory in android studio?
I tried putting the fonts folder same location as SRC folder but didn't work out
my code is
Typeface fontRobo = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/Roboto-Black.ttf");
viewTotalValue.setText(total.toString());
Is this correct? please advise
if you use android studio , you should create assets folder
from right click at
app ---> New --->Folder --->Assets Folder
choose destination to your assets folder default main
create directory called fonts in assets then place your font
|assets
|-----------------fonts
|-------------------Roboto-Black.ttf
|java
|res
AndroidManifest.xml
finally use this code
Typeface fontRobo = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/Roboto-Black.ttf");
viewTotalValue.setText(total.toString());
viewTotalValue.setTypeface(fontRobo );
You need to place your font file at the root of your project, inside a folder called 'assets'. You should end up with this structure :
src
|------------assets
|-----------------fonts
|-------------------font.ttf
|------------java
|------------libs
|------------res
AndroidManifest.xml
In android studio, the assets folder have to be placed under the "main" folder. Not under the "res" folder.
Since Android Studio uses the new Gradle-based build system, you should be putting the "assets/" folder inside of the source sets.
That was working for me:
src/main/assets/fonts/examalpefont.ttf
You have to download custom font .ttf file. In my case I downloaded din.ttf file.
put that in app->assets->fonts->din.ttf
Write the code in MainActivity.java file
TextView tx = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
Typeface custom_font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/din.ttf");
tx.setTypeface(custom_font);
//that's it . Done!
