Android :: Default Sans Serif Font In Android Support Italic
May 28, 2010
First question:
Does the default sans serif font in Android support italic? Oddly, you can see italic sans serif text if you indicate it as such in the xml of a layout file, but if you specify sans serif and italic to a typeface of a paint object it appears nonitalic. The exact same code works perfectly for bold for both serif and sans serif, but italic only works with sans serif.
Has anyone else ever noticed this? Can anyone else specify sans serif italic to a paint object?
Second question:
So, to specify a font directly by name, it appears that it must be reference by file or path as an asset. It looks like such fonts are always specified as bundled with the app. Are they *any* internal fonts at all? I mean, how does Android draw text in the first place? It must have *some* fonts, but I have no idea how to indicate them to a Typeface object (or a Paint object). I mean, Courier? Times? Helvetica? I'm looking for basic stuff here? Where are the fonts on Android?

I'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.

I found this on google discussion boards: Android UTF-8 - Google Mobile Help
Just wanted to double check with pro's here to make sure that adding a font set is not possible unless one has root access. I need to add non-English font support to Browser and email client to be able to read other languages.

Just like the title says, is there any app out there that will allow me to download full songs to my phone for free? I know the easy way would be to pull them from your computer, but I'm asking this question for my mom who just got a DInc. I know of Amazon MP3, which is great but are there any others, particularly those that don't charge for their songs?

I installed "Root tools" by "JRummy Apps" on my Samsung Galaxy Y Duos Lite GT S5302 (Android 2.3.6) and then installed a font. But now i want to revert back my device to the default font.
But, I'm unable to do so. Does factory reset will work? Or what else should I try ??

I've seen lots of comments about the default font that comes on the Captivate, and many have said they are using 3rd party fonts as replacements. Which one does everyone seem to think is the best, for readability (is that even a word?)?

How to change my emoticons on my galaxy SIII. I don't want the android emoticons or image emoticons, I'm trying to change the emoticons that show up below (it's a little large). I'm not sure if this is the Samsung keyboard or if it's just a steam app thing, because the little button down below only shows up in steam, but when I press and hold it it sends them as actual text, like : -) instead of .
Now, I like that it's text, I just don't like that they have dashes for noses, how or even if it can be changed.

From what information I can gather from the web, android browser shortcuts are comprised of MENU + X combinations. Is there an equivalent for the Eris? I do not see how this works given the lack of a real keyboard. To open the keyboard take a separate action and when holding MENU to then click the appropriate letter, all you get is the menu.

This 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.

I'm trying to build a app that uses the SmsMessage class but there are two versions depending on the API level of the device:
android.telephony.gsm.SmsMessage (deprecated for 1.6 and above)
android.telephony.SmsMessage (the new class for 1.6 and up)
I want to target 1.5 and yet have the newer class (android.telephony.SmsMessage) run on devices with 1.6 or higher. How do I do this?
I have already tired this: http://devtcg.blogspot.com/2009/12/gracefully-supporting-multiple-android.html but I couldn't get it to work (the author doesn't mention how he/she handles the different imports, the exact api level settings etc.)
