Using the views
There are two important attributes that define a font
font_nameEx: 'Roboto', 'Helvetica'font_variantEx: 'Bold', 'Condensed'
So if you want to add a TextView with the font 'Roboto-Condensed', you add the following to your layout file
<in.workarounds.typography.TextView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:font_name="Roboto"
app:font_variant="Condensed"
android:textSize="16sp"
/>You can utilize the following views to improve the typography in your app:
in.workarounds.typography.
- TextView
- EditText
- AutoCompleteTextView
- Button
- Checkbox
- RadioButton
- ToggleButton
Font Files
Place your fonts in
assets/fonts/ folder and use the following naming convention
`<font_name>-<font_variant>.<ext>`
<ext> can be
ttf or
otf. Both
font_name and
font_variant attribute are
case insensitive.
Note: If you want to use
Roboto.ttf, do not use the
font_variant attribute.

FontLoader is the class responsible for caching the
Typefaces and setting the fonts to the Views.
Set the default font name and font variant in your Application class
FontLoader.setDefaultFont(fontName, fontVariant)
Enable detailed logs(errors are always logged)
