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:

1. Use one of the library-provided roboto fonts, or
2. 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:

1. Add your custom font file to your app's asset folder (../src/main/assets/ExampleCustomFont.ttf)

2. 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
