Android different font for each language

Question

Is there anyway to make different font for each language? There is the values-en, values-fr ...etc, but can we do something like font-fr, font-ar ...etc?

PS, i'm talking about res/font, not about assets/fonts, i would like to be able to set one font in XML, and then get the changes with each language, without setting the Typeface programmatically.

Try this:

1. add all of your font files in res/font
2. localize style.xml (create values/style.xml && values-ln/style.xml)
3. in AppTheme for every style.xml add <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/your_desired_font</item>
4. that's all

if you have more than one font for a language (let's say regular, bold, light, etc.) then add it to each style.xml, example:

 <style name="FontLocalizedBold">
        <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/your_desired_font</item>
    </style>

usage:

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/textViewId"
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        style="@style/FontLocalizedBold"
        android:gravity="center"
        tools:text="XX"/>
