I want to use a custom font for my android application which I am creating.
I can individually change the typeface of each object from Code, but I have hundreds of them.

So,

  • Is there a way to do this from the XML? [Setting a custom typeface]
  • Is there a way to do it from code in one place, to say that the whole application and all the components should use the custom typeface instead of the default one?

    Is there a way to do this from the
    XML?

    No, sorry. You can only specify the built-in typefaces through XML.

    Is there a way to do it from code in
    one place, to say that the whole
    application and all the components
    should use the custom typeface instead
    of the default one?

    Not that I am aware of.

    There are a variety of options for these nowadays:

    • Font resources and backports in the Android SDK, if you are using appcompat

    • Third-party libraries for those not using appcompat, though not all will support defining the font in layout resources
