Tired to use default font in android application? I m here to learn you, how to use external fonts in your android application. In most of popular application uses their own fonts.It increases the UI layout and make it more attractive !!! So, are you ready to use external fonts???

Here is the full source code for custom fonts.

• First of all create one folder in assets package and name it : fonts
• Insert custom font(s) in fonts folder which you wants to set in your application.
• I have copied three custom fonts for Ex: batman.ttf, harryp.ttf, pac.TTF.
• Add below code in activity_main.xml file.

activity_main.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"

    android:layout_height="fill_parent"

    android:background="#222222"

    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <LinearLayout

        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:background="#222222"

        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <Button

            android:id="@+id/bat"

            android:layout_width="wrap_content"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:text="Batman" />

        <Button

            android:id="@+id/pac"

            android:layout_width="wrap_content"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:text="Pac font" />

        <Button

            android:id="@+id/harry"

            android:layout_width="wrap_content"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:text="HarryPotter" />

    </LinearLayout>

    <TextView

        android:id="@+id/ghost"

        android:layout_width="fill_parent"

        android:layout_height="fill_parent"

        android:layout_marginTop="50dip"

        android:gravity="center"

        android:text="Font"

        android:textColor="#ef0000"

        android:textSize="70dip" />

</LinearLayout>

• Now add below code in MainActivity.java file.

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

Button bat,pac,harry;

String fontPath;

Typeface tf;

    @Override

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        

        final TextView txtGhost = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.ghost);

        bat = (Button)findViewById(R.id.bat);

        pac = (Button)findViewById(R.id.pac);

        harry = (Button)findViewById(R.id.harry);

        

        bat.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) {

fontPath = "fonts/batman.ttf";

tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), fontPath);

txtGhost.setTypeface(tf);

}

});

        

        pac.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) {

fontPath = "fonts/pac.TTF";

tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), fontPath);

txtGhost.setTypeface(tf);

}

});

      

        harry.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) {

fontPath = "fonts/harryp.ttf";

tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), fontPath);

txtGhost.setTypeface(tf);

}

});

        

    }

}

• Done ! Now run this project.
