adding a new font in adapter class using " getContext().getAssets() ", crashes my application
When I remove the two lines for customizing the font, my application runs just fine. But when I include those lines my application crashes. Is there any other way to add custom fonts? What am I doing wrong here?
public class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
int images[];
public CustomAdapter(@NonNull Context context, String[] names, int pics[]) {
super(context, R.layout.face_list, names);
this.images = pics;
}
@NonNull
@Override
public View getView(int position, @Nullable View convertView, @NonNull ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater myInflater = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
View listDisplay = myInflater.inflate(R.layout.face_list, parent, false);
ImageView face = listDisplay.findViewById(R.id.face);
TextView name = listDisplay.findViewById(R.id.name);
Typeface chawpFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(listDisplay.getContext().getAssets(),"chawp.tff");
name.setTypeface(chawpFont);
String participant_name = (String) getItem(position);
int participant_pic = images[position];
face.setImageResource(participant_pic);
name.setText(participant_name);
return listDisplay;
}
}

Try this in your code .
public class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter {
int images[];
private Context mContext;
public CustomAdapter(@NonNull Context context, String[] names, int pics[]) {
super(context, R.layout.face_list, names);
this.images = pics;
// add here
this.mContext = context;
}
@NonNull
@Override
public View getView(int position, @Nullable View convertView, @NonNull ViewGroup parent) {
// edited here , change to mContext
LayoutInflater myInflater = LayoutInflater.from(mContext);
View listDisplay = myInflater.inflate(R.layout.face_list, parent, false);
ImageView face = listDisplay.findViewById(R.id.face);
TextView name = listDisplay.findViewById(R.id.name);
// edited here , change to mContext
Typeface chawpFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(mContext.getAssets(), "chawp.tff");
name.setTypeface(chawpFont);
String participant_name = (String) getItem(position);
int participant_pic = images[position];
face.setImageResource(participant_pic);
name.setText(participant_name);
return listDisplay;
}
}
Edit
In the assets directory, create a new fonts directory , then add chawp.tff to it .
Typeface chawpFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(mContext.getAssets(), "fonts/chawp.tff");
change to fonts/chawp.tff
