Setting Custom Font

How to set custom font for a whole application in Android?

Write a class

public class MyApp extends Application{
// Put the onCreate code as you obtained from the post link you reffered
}

now next thing is in AndroidManifest.xml for the application tag give name for your application class. In this case it is MyApp

<application
android:name=".MyApp"
...
>
...
</application>

So whenever the App is opened , onCreate method of MyApp class would be invoked , and the font would be set.

Update
Put font file under assets/fonts/your_font_file.ttf

Put this line under onCreate method of your application class(MyApp)

TypefaceUtil.overrideFont(getApplicationContext(), "SERIF", "fonts/your_font_file.ttf");

Source File for TypefaceUtil

public class TypefaceUtil {

    /**
     * Using reflection to override default typeface
     * NOTICE: DO NOT FORGET TO SET TYPEFACE FOR APP THEME AS DEFAULT TYPEFACE WHICH WILL BE OVERRIDDEN
     *
     * @param context                    to work with assets
     * @param defaultFontNameToOverride  for example "monospace"
     * @param customFontFileNameInAssets file name of the font from assets
     */
    public static void overrideFont(Context context, String defaultFontNameToOverride, String customFontFileNameInAssets) {

        final Typeface customFontTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), customFontFileNameInAssets);

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            Map<String, Typeface> newMap = new HashMap<String, Typeface>();
            newMap.put("serif", customFontTypeface);
            try {
                final Field staticField = Typeface.class
                        .getDeclaredField("sSystemFontMap");
                staticField.setAccessible(true);
                staticField.set(null, newMap);
            } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } else {
            try {
                final Field defaultFontTypefaceField = Typeface.class.getDeclaredField(defaultFontNameToOverride);
                defaultFontTypefaceField.setAccessible(true);
                defaultFontTypefaceField.set(null, customFontTypeface);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.e(TypefaceUtil.class.getSimpleName(), "Can not set custom font " + customFontFileNameInAssets + " instead of " + defaultFontNameToOverride);
            }
        }
    }
}

Now update your style.xml file

put the below line your style which is included for your activity in manifest file

  <item name="android:typeface">serif</item>

Hope this helps

How to set custom font in .xml file instead of .java file?

    public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        init();
    }

    public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init();
    }

    public MyTextView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        init();
    }

        setTypeface(tf ,1);

    }
}

In XML,

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

How to use custom font in a project written in Android Studio

Update 2021:

Create a folder named font inside the res folder and copy your font

All font names must be only: lowercase a-z, 0-9, or underscore.

<TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:fontFamily="@font/abc_font" />

Can't set custom font

As from JavaFX version 1.8u60 you can use plain css to load the font but with carefull that you need to use the exactly original name of the Font File,for example:

@font-face{
    src: url("../fonts/Younger than me Bold.ttf");
}

.button{
  -fx-background-color:white;
  -fx-background-radius:15.0;
  -fx-font-size:18.0;
  -fx-font-family:"Younger than me";
  -fx-text-fill:black;
  -fx-font-weight:bold;  
}

Mention that the original name can be found opening the .ttf with a default editor and see it's name in case if you don't know it.
