How to set custom font for alert dialog in android?

Question

In my android application an alert dialog appears after clicking on a button. I want to set custom font for the alert. I searched the web and found some tutorials and questions about this subject, but none of them works for me.

How can I change the font?

Thanks

Answer 1

To do this you use alert builder to build your alert. You then get the TextView from this alert and then you set the typeface for the alert.

AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).setMessage("Hello world").show(); TextView textView = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(android.R.id.message); Typeface face=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/FONT");  textView.setTypeface(face);  

Answer 2

The above answers didnt work for me.

I used the following approach

// Initializing the alertDialog AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(QuizActivity.this).create(); alertDialog.setTitle("Warning"); alertDialog.setMessage("Are you sure you want to exit?"); alertDialog.show(); // This should be called before looking up for elements   // Getting the view elements TextView textView = (TextView) alertDialog.getWindow().findViewById(android.R.id.message); TextView alertTitle = (TextView) alertDialog.getWindow().findViewById(R.id.alertTitle); Button button1 = (Button) alertDialog.getWindow().findViewById(android.R.id.button1); Button button2 = (Button) alertDialog.getWindow().findViewById(android.R.id.button2);  // Setting font textView.setTypeface(FontHelper.getFont(Fonts.MULI_REGULAR)); alertTitle.setTypeface(FontHelper.getFont(Fonts.MULI_REGULAR)); button1.setTypeface(FontHelper.getFont(Fonts.MULI_BOLD)); button2.setTypeface(FontHelper.getFont(Fonts.MULI_BOLD)); 

Tested on 7.1.1

NOTE: Make sure you get the element after showing the dialog. Without this you will get NullPointerException
