Applying custom font to the whole Android Application?

Before you jump with negative comments/votes, I will specify that I have read every question on `Stackoverflow regarding this topic, and have applied almost all the solutions, but still I have not succeeded applying it entirely.

So, I am asking this question, because almost all the answers I found are for like 4-5 years ago, and I was wondering if there are better solutions now.

I repeat my question: Is there a better way than those listed to override the whole font family in the whole app to only 1 font? (All the views used in the app)?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!

Solution

  • The best way is still to put your .ttf or .otf font file in the assets folder. Then derive a custom TextView class and fix its' font once and for all so that you don't have to call setTypeface() everywhere.

    That is all.
