Question

I recently developed an iPhone app and trying to make a similar version to the android.

Everything goes well, apart from android doesn’t supports bradley hand as a text font used on my buttons and labels.

I know you can possibly import your own text font, but I searched all over google and couldn’t find any hints on:

• How to do this, or perhaps an helpful tutorial somewhere online
• But more importantly, where can I get the bradley hand font source to import?

I use eclipse SDK on mac.

Any senoirs can give me a help with it?

Cheers
Phil

Answer 1

1) Create the folder assets/fonts in your project directory.
2) Place the font-file in the fonts directory
3) In the activity where you’d like to use the font, do this:


private static Typeface sTypeface;
if (sTypeface == null) {
sTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(),
"fonts/you_font_filename.ttf");
}
TextView mTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.you_textview);
mTextView .setTypeface(sTypeface);
