I have been using Jake Wharton's ViewPagerIndicator and I am currently trying to implement a custom font on one of my fragments. I've tried using this code:
TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Zipcode);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/customfont.ttf");
txt.setTypeface(font);
In the onCreate
for the main activity which results in a null pointer exception in logcat and occasionally typeface cannot be made
. I've also tried to set the font in the fragment itself in both the onCreate
and onCreateView
however findViewById
and getAssests()
are unknown methods in the fragment scope.
I'm having trouble figuring out if the font is the problem or where I am trying to set the fon't is the problem.
You can try this
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_layout, container, false);
TextView txt = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.Zipcode);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getActivity().getAssets(), "fonts/customfont.ttf");
txt.setTypeface(font);
return v;
}
with this you can have the context in the scope of the fragment and get the view and the assets
Define typeface in yourViewHolder class`
Typeface customFontBold= Typeface.createFromAsset(getActivity().getAssets(),"fonts/JosefinSans-Bold.ttf");
like this.
My Simple code is change method call "context" in
the fragment with "getContext();
//is getContext and getActvity same in fragment??
**result**.setText("Value Expenses = " +expenses);
Typeface supercell = Typeface.createFromAsset(**getContext()**.getAssets(), "fonts/Supercell.ttf");**
**result.setTypeface(supercell);**
}catch (Exception e)
{
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "SUCCEED, VALUES RESULT", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
break;
