Use custom fonts
In order to use custom fonts in some Views
, we need to import the font files to the folder /assets/font/
and apply the typeface to the View
(not all views support it, some examples are TextView
, Button
, RadioButton
, and so on). Here an easy example using Arial.ttf
.
+ assets
+ font
- Arial.ttf
// YourActivity.java
Typeface fontResource = Typeface.createFromAsset(
context.getAssets(), "font/Arial.ttf");
TextView textView = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.tv1);
textView.setTypeface(fontResource);
