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 have quite a lot of content to have in my application to make it run properly, and I'm thinking of putting all of it in a database, and distribute it in an embedded database with the application in the market.
The only trouble is that I have no idea of how to do that.
I know that I can extract a file .db from Eclipse DDMS with the content of my database, and I suppose I need to put it in the asset folder of my application, but then how to make the application use it to regenerate the application database?

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 want to know is there any android web browser which allows to use custom fonts.As in Go SMS application,that allow users to customize own fonts. Android phones do not support burmese font and now I can see and send it in GO SMS .But not get in the web browser. I can read the website written with local languages during surfing the web.

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?
Is there anyway I can embed my application's settings to global settings screen (resides in launcher as Settings) without modifying the Android Settings application.

Can anyone shed any light on why I'm unable to click and play a youtube clip on an Android handset when placed inside a webview?I've put a very simple app together (it's being extended, but no right away) and it has a web view assigned using the Android SDK.The rest of the webview works as expected (text, images, css etc), however, the YouTube clips will not show, they just show as black or white rectangles (where the video embed should be).We use the same view to display content on the iPhone app equivalent, without any issues.This is using a basic flash embed, the Safari browser on iPhone converts these to H.264 and plays them nicely in QuickTime.Can Android do the same?

The annoying part is the url bar uses a lot of the screen. Is there a way to make this web app a native Android app? I've read that webview can be used to embed a web site within the Android App.
Unfortunately, I only know web programming languages and have no Java experience. Will I still be able to do this on my own?
