Question

I’ve creating a textView called textView1 using the Layout Editor on main.xml. I want to use a custom font so I a font set line of code into the onCreate but it doesn’t seem to recongnize the name textView1

package com.mystraldesign.memorable;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MemorableActivity extends Activity 
{
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        Typeface type = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/optima.ttf"); 
        textView1.setTypeface(type);
    }
}

I’m sure I’m missing something simple but this is my first time coding Android so still feeling my way around.

Answer 1

TextView textView1= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text_info);
Typeface type= Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/optima.ttf");
textView1.setTypeface(type);
