I have no clue as how to set string path


I am using a third party library for splash screen. I got it from https://github.com/ViksaaSkool/AwesomeSplash. I have followed the whole tutorial but i am getting error while setting string path. It has a line "configSplash.setPathSplash(SyncStateContract.Constants.DROID_LOGO); //set path String". Android studio is unable to resolve DROID_LOGO and i am getting error. I replaced DROID_LOGO with DATA and got this error. As suggested on the post i have written this code.

public class splashex extends AwesomeSplash {

//DO NOT OVERRIDE onCreate()!
//if you need to start some services do it in initSplash()!


@Override
public void initSplash(ConfigSplash configSplash) {

        /* you don't have to override every property */

    //Customize Circular Reveal
    configSplash.setBackgroundColor(R.color.colorPrimary); //any color you want form colors.xml
    configSplash.setAnimCircularRevealDuration(2000); //int ms
    configSplash.setRevealFlagX(Flags.REVEAL_RIGHT);  //or Flags.REVEAL_LEFT
    configSplash.setRevealFlagY(Flags.REVEAL_BOTTOM); //or Flags.REVEAL_TOP

    //Choose LOGO OR PATH; if you don't provide String value for path it's logo by default

    //Customize Logo
    configSplash.setLogoSplash(R.mipmap.ic_launcher); //or any other drawable
    configSplash.setAnimLogoSplashDuration(2000); //int ms
    configSplash.setAnimLogoSplashTechnique(Techniques.Bounce); //choose one form Techniques (ref: https://github.com/daimajia/AndroidViewAnimations)


    //Customize Path
    configSplash.setPathSplash(SyncStateContract.Constants.DROID_LOGO); //set path String(**I am getting error here**)
    //     configSplash.setOriginalHeight(400); //in relation to your svg (path) resource
    configSplash.setOriginalWidth(400); //in relation to your svg (path) resource
    configSplash.setAnimPathStrokeDrawingDuration(3000);
    configSplash.setPathSplashStrokeSize(3); //I advise value be <5
    configSplash.setPathSplashStrokeColor(R.color.colorPrimaryDark); //any color you want form colors.xml
    configSplash.setAnimPathFillingDuration(3000);
    configSplash.setPathSplashFillColor(R.color.colorPrimaryDark); //path object filling color


    //Customize Title
    configSplash.setTitleSplash("My Awesome App");
    configSplash.setTitleTextColor(R.color.colorAccent);
    configSplash.setTitleTextSize(30f); //float value
    configSplash.setAnimTitleDuration(3000);
    configSplash.setAnimTitleTechnique(Techniques.FlipInX);
    configSplash.setTitleFont("fonts/myfont.ttf"); //provide string to your font located in assets/fonts/

}

@Override
public void animationsFinished() {

    //transit to another activity here
    //or do whatever you want
}

}

The error i am getting is

  java.lang.RuntimeException: Font asset not found fonts/myfont.ttf
  at android.graphics.Typeface.createFromAsset(Typeface.java:190)

I searched various links and all suggested to add assets folder but i dont know where to make assets folder and what to store in that. please help me with all the details about assets and fonts.

Still i am getting this.

added the font folder still i am getting the same error.


Solution

  • You have to create folder named fonts according to the following path:

    your_android_project_folder > app > src > main > assets > fonts

    Now within your fonts folder,you need to store your myfont.ttf file.
