How to set a custom font to the title in toolbar android

Question

I am doing this:

toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(com.sports.unity.R.id.tool_bar); setSupportActionBar(toolbar); setTitle("hello"); 

I want to set a custom font for the text here in the title "hello". How to do that?

Answer 1

Since android.support.v7.appcompat 24.2 Toolbar has method setTitleTextAppearance and you can set its font without external textview.

create new style in styles.xml

<style name="RobotoBoldTextAppearance">         <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/roboto_condensed_bold</item> </style> 

and use it

mToolbar.setTitleTextAppearance(this, R.style.RobotoBoldTextAppearance);
