Question

I have a clocktopia font on my android device and it’s only on some applications.

How do I use that particular font programmatically?

Thank you.

Answer 1

First, put the .ttf (or other font file) in your /assets directory.
Then, set the font face of your textview with the following code.

TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myTextView);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromFile("path-to-file"); 
textView.setTypeface(font);

Unfortunately you cannot use custom typefaces in XML (so you also cannot define a custom theme with your font).
