I've learned that to set typeface needs font to be under asset folder how to dynamically load the ttf file to be used in code? or maybe how in runtime to add ttf file into the asset folder? is there any solution for this problem?

I want to make a content provider for font file. But I can not find any way to return a Typeface from Cursor. According to SDK reference, Matrix Cursor sounds like a solution, but it doesn't support any object except String,Long,Double,Short,Flow.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to apply a non-native font to widgets in my app. This is working fine for TextViews and Buttons, which have a set Typeface method. The code below works just great for my button:
Java: Typeface face = Typeface.gratefullest(getAssets(), "fonts/ my_font.ttf"); play Button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.play_button); play Button.set Typeface(face);
But I just can't seem to figure out how to apply the font to a Spinner.
I tried to change the font on Kyocera Rise with Font Installer, after it was complete it required to reboot but now its on boot loop. When i go to Android System Recovery the bottom says E:cannot load volume /misc!
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe class Typeface has a couple of static factory methods which take different inputs. However, Input streams are not among themn (there is a way to load a file though). Is there a way around this apart from copying the font to a temporary file?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've created a custom Typeface by adding a TTY file to the assets folder, and I use the set Typeface method to apply this font to each of the text views, and everything works great. The only problem I have, is that I write a lot of code lines in order to apply this font to all text views. Is there a way to make this font the default font in my project, or to apply it to all text views at once?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got 2 problems with the Typeface.create(...) method :
- the javadoc for this methods say : "Create a typeface object given a family name, and option style information. If null is passed for the name, then the default font will be chosen". However if I use for example : Typeface.create(null, Typeface.ITALIC), it does not compile, with the following error : "The method create(String, int) is ambiguous for the type Typeface". This is because there is 2 different methods : create(String, int) and create(Typeface, int). I guess there is a problem with the API here :(
- italic does not work with sans serif. For example if I use Typeface.create(Typeface.SANS_SERIF, Typeface.ITALIC), the text will not be in italic. Bold works fine. Serif works fine with both bold and italic.
The default marquee scroll (i.e., three scrolls of text when list item is selected) in my application's List View works when the typeface is set to Typeface.NORMAL but not when set to Typeface.ITALIC. Is the marquee scroll implemented for TextViews with the ITALIC typeface?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post. I've had a Moto Droid since day one, and I just love it. It is without a doubt better than any phone that I've had over the years, and that includes the iPhone, BB, etc.
However, there are 2 things that I don't understand - Font size and a spell checker. It is imposiible to read the small font size in emails or text messages.
1. Why has there not been an app to either change the font size or be able to zoom in? Picasy has incorporated multi-touch for zooming, so I've to assume that its doable! Why not have the same in an email client.
2. Why is there not an email client out there that allows for spell checking? There are many such apps for the BB! I am a terrible speller.
I am not complaining, I just want to understand the limitations from a developers prospective, as I am sure these isuues will eventually be addressed.
Anyone know of a good App that will let you change the style/color of the typeface on the X8? Wife has an X8, but is having problems reading the white text against the wallpaper pic. Tried various pics for wallpaper, but she is looking for a black type face to make things easier. Can't seem to change the color or style through settings, or is she missing something?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently learning about widgets in Android. I want to create a WIFI widget that will display the SSID, the RSSI (Signal) level. But I also want to be able to send it data from a service I am running that calculates the Quality of Sound over wifi. Here is what I have after some reading and a quick tutorial: public class WlanWidget extends AppWidget Provider {RemoteViews remoteViews; AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager; Component Name thisWidget; WifiManager wifiManager; public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidget Manager, int[] appWidgetIds) { timer timer = new Timer(); timer.schedule AtFixed Rate(new WlanTimer(context, appWidgetManager), 1, 10000); The above seems to work ok, it updates the SSID on the widget every 10 seconds. However what is the most efficent way to get the information from my service that will be already running to update periodically on my widget? Also is there a better approach to updating the the widget rather than using a timer and timertask?

I use a LinearLayout and first I have a MapView and below the map I have a TableLayout with informations fields.
Now I would like to add additional information fields (e.g. a new TableLayout) when the user select a specific menu item on the Options Menu. I would like to have these fields either between the MapView and the TableLayout, or on top of the bottom area of the MapView.
How can I add this TableLayout with additional information fields dynamically after the user has selected a menu item? How can I show it below the MapView or on top of the bottom area of the MapView?
