[Deprecated]

Fonts in XML are now supported by the Android support library as of 26.0, including in styles and themes. I recommend using the support library and IDE integration for all your modern font needs! https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/look-and-feel/fonts-in-xml.html#using-support-lib

fontbinding

Easy custom fonts in XML using data binding.

No setup required, no extra Java code, and no custom views.

<TextView
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  app:font="@{
`alegreya`
}
"
  />

This example includes a simple font cache that automatically loads names from your assets/fonts folder and lazy-loads typefaces. Just drag and drop font files and use them in XML by their normal or lowercase filenames (e.g. "Roboto-Italic" or "roboto-italic" for Roboto-Italic.otf). That's it!

Data Binding

Make sure to use the data binding framework to inflate your layout.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_main);

  
}
 
}

Custom Naming

You can set custom names for your fonts, but you don't have to.

FontCache.getInstance().addFont("alegreya", "Alegreya-Regular.ttf");

Note:

It's not currently possible to define custom attributes in styles using data binding. If you require this, check out Calligraphy by Chris Jenx.

Bindroid

Bindroid is an open-source utility library for Android apps whose primary goal is to simplify binding UI to data. It introduces an observability pattern for model objects and a number of simple methods for quickly binding these objects to your user interfaces. The result is a responsive, always-consistent and up-to-date user experience without having to write all of the glue to ensure that your UI is updated whenever the data it presents changes.
