MagicViews
Provides a simple way to set custom font in Android application.
Adding to your project
- Add the library as a dependency to your
build.gradle
compile 'com.ivankocijan:MagicViews:version@aar'
- Specify path to fonts folder in onCreate method of your Application class (See example app).
public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
MagicViews.setFontFolderPath(this, "fontFolderPath");
}
}
Usage from layout
-
Add your application namespace to the root element in the XML
xmlns:app=" http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
-
Instead of TextView use
com.ivankocijan.magicviews.views.MagicTextView
<com.ivankocijan.magicviews.views.MagicTextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:typeFace="cha_chicle.otf"/>

You might encounter this issue after updating: /build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.android.support/appcompat-v7/23.0.1/res/values-v23/values-v23.xml
There are two options to fix that:
Exclude appcompact-v7 from MagicViews library:
compile('com.ivankocijan:MagicViews:3.1.0@aar') {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat-v7'
}
or Compile your app with Android SDK 23:
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
}

- Library now uses new AppCompat views which backport some cool stuff to pre-lollipop devices. See Android developer blogspot for more info
- Added new views: RadioButton, AutoCompleteTextView and MultiAutoCompleteTextView
- Font can now be set from code by calling setFont(String fontName) method
- Example app is updated with new features
