How to change fontFamily of TextView in Android ?

A1.Java-first copy .ttf in Assets folder

         TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.appname);

     Typeface face = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
            "fonts/epimodem.ttf");
     tv.setTypeface(face);

         

A2:

       Within the *.xml you can combine the stock fonts with the following functions, not only with              typeface:

    android:fontFamily="serif" 
    android:textStyle="italic"

      With this two styles, there was no need to use typeface in any other case. The range of                          combinations is much more bigger with fontfamily&textStyle

A3.

    You set style in res/layout/value/style.xml like that:

    <style name="boldText">
    <item name="android:textStyle">bold|italic</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">#FFFFFF</item>
    </style>

  use this style in main.xml file use:

 style="@style/boldText"

         Here is an easier way that can work in some cases. The principle is to add a not visible                      TextVview in your xml layout and to get its typeFace in the java code.

       The layout in the xml file:

 <TextView
        android:text="The classic bread is made of flour hot and salty. The classic bread is made of flour hot and salty. The classic bread is made of flour hot and salty."
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:fontFamily="sans-serif-thin"
        android:id="@+id/textViewDescription"/>

Dynamically you can set the fontfamily similar to android:fontFamily in xml by using this, For Custom font: TextView tv = ((TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.select_item_title)); Typeface face=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/mycustomfont.ttf"); tv.setTypeface(face); For Default font: tv.setTypeface(Typeface.create("sans-serif-medium",Typeface.NORMAL)); These are the list of default font family used, use any of this by replacing the double quotation string "sans-serif-medium" FONT FAMILY TTF FILE 1 casual ComingSoon.ttf 2 cursive DancingScript-Regular.ttf 3 monospace DroidSansMono.ttf 4 sans-serif Roboto-Regular.ttf 5 sans-serif-black Roboto-Black.ttf 6 sans-serif-condensed RobotoCondensed-Regular.ttf 7 sans-serif-condensed-light RobotoCondensed-Light.ttf 8 sans-serif-light Roboto-Light.ttf 9 sans-serif-medium Roboto-Medium.ttf 10 sans-serif-smallcaps CarroisGothicSC-Regular.ttf 11 sans-serif-thin Roboto-Thin.ttf 12 serif NotoSerif-Regular.ttf 13 serif-monospace CutiveMono.ttf "mycustomfont.ttf" is the ttf file.
