So I'd like to change the android:fontFamily
in Android but I don't see any pre-defined fonts in Android. How do I select one of the pre-defined ones? I don't really need to define my own TypeFace but all I need is something different from what it shows right now.
<TextView android:id="@+id/HeaderText" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_marginTop="52dp" android:gravity="center" android:text="CallerBlocker" android:textSize="40dp" android:fontFamily="Arial" />
It seems what I did up there won't really work! BTW android:fontFamily="Arial"
was a stupid attempt!
To use preset sizes to set up the autosizing of TextView programmatically, call the setAutoSizeTextTypeUniformWithPresetSizes(int[] presetSizes, int unit) method. Provide an array of sizes and any TypedValue dimension unit for the size.
From android 4.1 / 4.2 / 5.0, the following Roboto font families are available:
android:fontFamily="sans-serif" // roboto regular android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light" // roboto light android:fontFamily="sans-serif-condensed" // roboto condensed android:fontFamily="sans-serif-black" // roboto black android:fontFamily="sans-serif-thin" // roboto thin (android 4.2) android:fontFamily="sans-serif-medium" // roboto medium (android 5.0)
in combination with
android:textStyle="normal|bold|italic"
this 16 variants are possible:
fonts.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="font_family_light">sans-serif-light</string> <string name="font_family_medium">sans-serif-medium</string> <string name="font_family_regular">sans-serif</string> <string name="font_family_condensed">sans-serif-condensed</string> <string name="font_family_black">sans-serif-black</string> <string name="font_family_thin">sans-serif-thin</string> </resources>
