Custom fonts in Android

Using a .ttf or .otf font in Android is fairly straightforward. Firstly create ‘assets/fonts/’ and put the files in there. Now using Typeface.createFromAsset we can create the typeface.

Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/HandmadeTypewriter.ttf");

To set TextView to use this typeface we use the setTypeface function.

TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.texty);
tv.setTypeface(tf);
The Typeface class specifies the typeface and intrinsic style of a font. This is used in the paint, along with optionally Paint 

settings like textSize, textSkewX, textScaleX to specify how text appears when drawn (and measured).
Here is our java class:
public class CustomFontsActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
        
        TextView customStyle1,customStyle2;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        Typeface tf1 = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/HandmadeTypewriter.ttf");
        Typeface tf2 = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/MgOpenCosmeticaBold.ttf");
        customStyle1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text);
        customStyle2 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text1);
        customStyle1.setTypeface(tf1);
        customStyle2.setTypeface(tf2);
       
    }
}
Here is our main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
    <TextView
        android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:id="@+id/text"
        android:textSize="25dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="This HandmadeTypewriter style" />
    
    <TextView
        android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:id="@+id/text1"
        android:textSize="20dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="This is MgOpenCosmeticaBold style" />
</LinearLayout>
