FontUtil

a simple way to change the typeface allover your app or to a specific view directly from the layout xml without creating a custom class or refering to your view programmatically.

How to use it

• add the below dependency to your gradle file

compile 'com.khouli.font:font-util:0.0.1'

• if you want to change the typeface in all the text views (TextView or any of its subclasses) all over the application apply font as below

public class FontApp extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        
        FontUtil.applyFont(Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/Pacifico.ttf"));
    }
    
    //dont forget to change the app name in your manifiest android:name=".your custom class name"
}

• OR if you want to change the typeface in any specific text view (TextView or any of its subclasses) directly from the layout xml init the library as below

public class FontApp extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        //hash map of (font name , font path in assets)
        HashMap<String,String> fontsMap = new HashMap<>();
        fontsMap.put(this.getResources().getString(R.string.pacifico_font),"fonts/Pacifico.ttf");

        FontUtil.init(this,fontsMap);
    }
}

and now to use the font in any layout just set the font name to the tag object as below

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:tag="@string/pacifico_font" 
        ...
        />

• last step is to override your attachBaseContext method in your base activity as below

public class YourBaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

   @Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
        super.attachBaseContext(new UtilContextWrapper(newBase));

    }
    ... 
    }
