Using otf type fonts in Android studio

Question

I see a lot of references for ttf fonts in Android studio but none describe usage of otf type fonts. Is there a way to use otf type fonts as well for Android studio projects?

Answer 1

TTF is always been supported. OTF was later added at least in 1.6 and later, but partially.

Typeface face;

face = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "font.otf");

textview.setTypeface(face);

Answer 2

You can add external fonts by adding it to the assets folder.

The Typeface class specifies the typeface and intrinsic style of a font. This is used in the paint, along with optionally Paint settings like textSize, textSkewX, textScaleX to specify how text appears when drawn (and measured).

So create an object with reference to the font places in assets folder and apply the font style by setTypeface() method.

Example:

TextView usernamesigin = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.username_signin_edittxt);
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/MyriadPro-Regular.otf");
usernamesigin.setTypeface(tf);
