android-fontloading-textview

Load custom fonts easily just via layout parameters or styles. Uses static Typeface objects, load once - memory efficient. No more textView.setTypeface() calls!

Add gradle dependency

compile 'net.kianoni:fontloader:0.3.0'

Usage in layouts

Please use styles.xml instead!

Add font namespace to xml root element, eg.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    xmlns:font="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

Define explicit font file to use:

<net.kianoni.fontloader.TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/hello_world"
    font:fontFile="fonts/OpenSans-Regular.ttf"
    android:textSize="18sp"
    />

Or a pattern, family and variant:

<net.kianoni.fontloader.TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/hello_world"
    font:fontFilePattern="fonts/{fontFamily}-{fontVariant}.ttf"
    font:fontFamily="OpenSans"
    font:fontVariant="Light"
    android:textSize="18sp"
    />

usage in styles

Example:

<resources xmlns:font="http://schemas.android.com/res/net.kianoni.fontloader">

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    </style>

    <style name="OpenSans">
        <item name="fontFilePattern">fonts/{fontFamily}-{fontVariant}.ttf</item>
        <item name="fontFamily">OpenSans</item>
        <item name="fontVariant">Regular</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">18sp</item>
    </style>

    <style name="OpenSans.Bold" parent="OpenSans">
        <item name="fontVariant">Bold</item>
    </style>

</resources>

and usage in layouts:

<net.kianoni.fontloader.TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/hello_world"
    style="@style/OpenSans"
    />

<net.kianoni.fontloader.TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/hello_world"
    style="@style/OpenSans.Bold"
