android-fontloading-textview

Load custom fonts easily just via layout parameters or styles. Uses static Typeface objects, load once - memory efficient. No more textView.setTypeface() calls!

Add gradle dependency

compile 'net.kianoni:fontloader:0.3.0' 

Usage in layouts

Please use styles.xml instead!

Add font namespace to xml root element, eg.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  xmlns:font="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" 

Define explicit font file to use:

<net.kianoni.fontloader.TextView
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:text="@string/hello_world"
  font:fontFile="fonts/OpenSans-Regular.ttf"
  android:textSize="18sp"
  /> 

Or a pattern, family and variant:

<net.kianoni.fontloader.TextView
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:text="@string/hello_world"
  font:fontFilePattern="fonts/{
fontFamily
}
-{
fontVariant
}
.ttf"
  font:fontFamily="OpenSans"
  font:fontVariant="Light"
  android:textSize="18sp"
  /> 

usage in styles

Example:

<resources xmlns:font="http://schemas.android.com/res/net.kianoni.fontloader">

<!-- Base application theme. -->
  <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
  </style>

<style name="OpenSans">

<item name="fontFilePattern">fonts/{
