UniversalFontComponents
UniversalFontComponents is a library that allows you to set a custom font in xml for all your TextViews. You can also set a library-provided Roboto font so that your fonts are consistent across different versions of Android.
Importing in your project
Gradle
By standard Gradle use:
dependencies {
compile 'com.raizlabs:UniversalFontComponents:1.0.1.1'
}
Usage
First, you have to initialize the library.
In your Application's onCreate method, call
UniversalFontComponents.init(this);
to initialize the FontMap.
Setting a universal font for your app can be done one of two ways:
- Use one of the library-provided roboto fonts, or
- Inject your own custom font into the view.
Built-In Fonts
To use one of the built-in roboto fonts, use one of the built in views in your layout.xml file and add the universalFont attribute with one of the built-in Roboto fonts specified:
<com.raizlabs.universalfontcomponents.widget.UniversalFontTextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="I am a UniversalFontTextView"
app:universalFont="Roboto.Bold" />Custom Fonts
To use your own custom font:
-
Add your custom font file to your app's asset folder (../src/main/assets/ExampleCustomFont.ttf)
-
Use one of the built-in views in your layout.xml file and add the customFont attribute with the name of your custom font file specified:
```xml
<com.raizlabs.universalfontcomponents.widget.UniversalFontTextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="I am a UniversalFontTextView"
app:customFont="ExampleCustomFont.ttf" /> ``` The following components are currently provided by the library:
- UniversalFontTextView
- UniversalFontButton
- UniversalFontEditText
- UniversalFontRadioButton
