UniversalFontComponents

UniversalFontComponents is a library that allows you to set a custom font in xml for all your TextViews. You can also set a library-provided Roboto font so that your fonts are consistent across different versions of Android.

Importing in your project

Gradle

By standard Gradle use:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.raizlabs:UniversalFontComponents:1.0.1.1'
  }

Usage

First, you have to initialize the library.

In your Application's onCreate method, call

  UniversalFontComponents.init(this);

to initialize the FontMap.

Setting a universal font for your app can be done one of two ways:

  1. Use one of the library-provided roboto fonts, or
  2. Inject your own custom font into the view.

Built-In Fonts

To use one of the built-in roboto fonts, use one of the built in views in your layout.xml file and add the universalFont attribute with one of the built-in Roboto fonts specified:

  <com.raizlabs.universalfontcomponents.widget.UniversalFontTextView
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:text="I am a UniversalFontTextView"
      app:universalFont="Roboto.Bold" />

Custom Fonts

To use your own custom font:

  1. Add your custom font file to your app's asset folder (../src/main/assets/ExampleCustomFont.ttf)

  2. Use one of the built-in views in your layout.xml file and add the customFont attribute with the name of your custom font file specified:

```xml
  <com.raizlabs.universalfontcomponents.widget.UniversalFontTextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="I am a UniversalFontTextView"
    app:customFont="ExampleCustomFont.ttf" />
```

The following components are currently provided by the library:

  • UniversalFontTextView
  • UniversalFontButton
  • UniversalFontEditText
  • UniversalFontRadioButton
  • UniversalFontCheckBox
