Adding Custom Font android using lib

Question

I am using android custom font lib Calligraphy https://github.com/chrisjenx/Calligraphy.

But there is no effect on textview. I am using the below code:

    public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    }

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

In XML:

<TextView
        tools:context=""
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Touch Listner"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        app:fontPath="fonts/gotham-book.ttf" />

In attrs:

<resources>
    <attr name="fontPath" format="string"/>
</resources>

In assets/font/gotham-book.ttf

Answer 1

Remove the namespace from the TextView.

<TextView
    tools:context=""
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Touch Listner"
    android:textSize="18sp"
    fontPath="fonts/gotham-book.ttf" />

(Change app:fontPath to fontPath)

Annoyingly we can't resolve the auto-res namespace.

Answer 2

Create the class that extends Application, now and the following code in it. and declare it in manifest under application tag.

    CalligraphyConfig.initDefault(new CalligraphyConfig.Builder()
                    .setDefaultFontPath("fonts/Roboto-ThinItalic.ttf")
                    .setFontAttrId(R.attr.fontPath)
                    .build()
    );
