I am trying to use custom font in android. I have written java code as given below.
CODE:.........
Where I have stored the custom font in "./assets/fonts/" folder.
But, I am getting nullpointerexception on the 3rd line.
Now i want to display some unicode characters and i have used tag: something herer . But it seems that webview can not find the Arial font because i can only see UFO - Characters. Do i have to copy arial.ttf to
somewhere or how can i use this true- type-font with webview?
Is there anyway to set a custom font or color for the selected item in a Spinner? For example, I open the spinner and click a priority of "High". I'm my layout containing the spinner, I would like to see the word "High" in red or a custom font.
I can't seem to obtain the textview to make the necessary change. I always obtain a NullPointerException if I typecast the spinner.getSelectedView() to textview and attempt to set the color.
I would like to have an app include a custom font for rendering text, load it, and then use it with standard elements like StaticText. Is this possible?

Every minute the appwidget updates to display the correct time. But for some unknown reason sometimes when the widget is updated the text shows anything except the time, ranging from chines to random numbers.

With other custom fonts, unsupported characters are still displayed, such as Japanese characters, as well as accented characters. However with the Neucha font, most unsupported characters (such as Asian ones) are displayed, but some accented characters (â, ã, ä, å, ą, ô, õ, ö, ő for example) are not displayed. Instead blank spaces are shown in their places.
Is this an issue with the font, or with Android? What can I do to get characters not supported by this font to be displayed using the default font in an EditText view?
I recently decided to remake my UI, I had text built into my ImageViews which I was advised against, so I have now gone with TextViews, however I would like to carry on using the Roboto font. Is it possible to do so?
I have already added "Roboto-Light" to the assets/fonts folder but I'm looking for an easy way to implement it since I want some TextViews to have the font and some to be standard.
Is there a way I can do it in the XML? So I can select individual TextViews rather than the entire application?
I found a font on my desktop, I'm trying to get this on my droid and getting hung up.
Its a .ttf file on my desktop, I copied it and renamed both copies to DroidSans & DroidSans-Bold put them on my sd card and put in the system/fonts folder using root explorer. Reboot and it bootloops or gets stuck on the M.
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!

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.
I have seen examples implementing a custom Filter. The Android developer docs talk about implementing a Filterable interface. Does anyone have any advice and/or sample code on the best way to implement filtering in a ListView ?

I'm trying to use a Helvetica outlined ttf and i want the background of the font to be yellow and the outline part be black.but it does not work, the font is drawn with the black outline but no yellow background. In fact I am not even sure what does the bgColor field from TextPaint is for, i haven't found information about it in the doc. I've also tried to use the setBackgroundColor(Color) method from TextView but it doesn't fill the font inner part but all the TextView space.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know I can increase the font size of a normal website by going to menu>settings>text size. But apparently that doesn't work on some websites. Usually it doesn't seem to work on the "mobile version" of some websites.
For example, if I go to TechCrunch on my android. Then I cannot change the text size on that page. Neither can I pinch zoom on that website. Which makes the articles unreadable for me.
Is there something I can do on my end to fix it? Is it wordpress who should fix their mobile engine (this site uses it)? Or is it techcrunch themselves who are configuring their wordpress wrong?
I have a friend that is visually impaired and has a hard time reading normal sized fonts on cell phones. she currently has a blackberry tour because she can adjust the font size and make it large enough that she can read the screen easily. does anyone know of an android phone that you can adjust the font size on? or is there a program for a android phone that blows the screen up? she really likes the capabilities of android phones but needs to be able to see whats on the screen!
