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?

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?

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.
The 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?

I am trying to get the images to have transparent backgrounds so the map is not blocked by a square marker with an image in it. What image editor and what settings should I use to get this to work?
I am trying to do some custom backgrounds for buttons and the same problem comes up: I get square corners and a background that does not scale with the buttons.
I think this all part of the same problem: I am not using the right tool with the right settings to create the images. I must be misinterpreting the documentation and examples that talk about a white border around the image and a black line along the top and left side for the expandable button background.
Here's a quick way to reproduce the problem:
Follow the directions to create the MapView program as described on:
http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-mapview.html
For the icon I first used the image copied from the page:
Next I edited the picture in Microsoft Paint, and cut off the little guy's antennae. I'm not cruel and no real androids were harmed in that experiment. I surrounded the new picture with a pixel thick border of white, copied from the border that was around the rest of the image, and then copied the black that was there as well in the void areas of the image, outside the border.
I saved the image as myandroid.png and copied the file to the layout folder. Pointed the activity to the new pic and ran the program.
The image was displayed with a full square background and shadow, not the android shaped image and shadow that was there when the original image was used.
Custom Button background:
Follow the directions for the Relative Layout example at:
[url]
Next, I created an image to expand as a background for the button called backbutton.png. It too is surrounded by a white border and black filled on the corners, the top and one side per documentation I found in "Android Programming Tutorials" on page 298.
The background does not expand, nor do the corners round.
I wish I could show you screenies of what I have.
How do you create the images for the custom backgrounds and the images for the custom map markers and buttons? I need to know what image editor to use and the file attributes to set, so the images expand and display with the proper void spaces in them.
I try to implement a custom button(OnPressButton), and the code is in below. In LogCat, I can see the two parameters (btn_up/btn_down) value are below:
btn_up=@drawable/btn_up btn_down=@drawable/btn_up
But how can I convert this to point to R.drowable.btn_up and R.drowable.btn_down ?
CODE:....................
I'm creating my own View class, and defining custom xml attributes with a attrs.xml. As long as I provide each attribute manually, there is no problem, but
code:...................
The android:text is properly set in my instance, but the borderDrawable is not. I guess this has something to do with namespaces, because inside the styles.xml, the name="mypack:borderDrawable" is not handled by the XML parser's namespace facility, because its inside an attribute value. So "mypack" is in no way connected to "http://some.weird.url.com/seems/not/to/ matter" and adding it via xmlns:mypack... to the stylefile would not help, I guess. In the same file, "android:text" is somehow recognized, even though "android" is AFAIK only a ns-defintion for [url], which is also not declared in that file.
So what is the proper way to set a custom attribute in a style?
I just went through the process of compiling a custom ROM and they used a stock kernel. I would like to incorporate a different kernel when I compile and instead of the stock. I know I could compile them separately and have them flash together but I want one zip to flash. Just would like to go through the process to learn.

adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); instead of
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
In the layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item.xml file I specified the width, but it still occupies the entire width. Can any one help. Is there any other view which is similar to spinner but I should be able to see the background objects like a alert dialog. Is it really possible?
