Question

I would like to use a TextSwitcher as opposed to a TextView because of the animations available, but does someone know how to use a custom Typeface for the text? I don’t want to use the default font.

Answer 1

Just use the android:fontFamily attribute for each child TextView.

<TextSwitcher . . .>
    <TextView
        android:fontFamily="..."
        . . . />

    <TextView
        android:fontFamily="..."
        . . . />

</TextSwitcher>

The TextSwitcher will alternate between the two TextView children, using the font family (Typeface) you specify.
