Fontize Android Library
Fontize is an Android library, written in kotlin, that enables your android app have multiple fonts for your TextViews and switch between them in a jiffy!
A quick demo:
Adding Fontize to your project
Include jitpack in your root build.gradle file.
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
And add it's dependency to your app level build.gradle file:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.gouravkhunger:Fontize:1.0.0'
}
Sync the project and you'll have imported Fontize successfully.
Start using Fontize
Make sure you have all your fonts in the res/font/ directory. Support for font files in the assets folder will ship soon!
Rename all the TextViews or AppCompatTextViews in your project to com.github.gouravkhunger.fontize.FontizeTextView - You don't have to change anything else, and the view would still perform the same :)
Before:
">
After:
">
To set up a default font for the TextViews that should load at the startup, add this line to the beginning of your launcher activity:
Fontize(this).setDefaultFont(R.font.irish_grover) // replace with your own font
To update the font for all of your app, simple call this line from anywhere inside the app:
Fontize(this).updateFont(R.font.zen_old_mincho)
Note:
thismust be an Acitvity or Application context.- This requires recreation of the activity, which can be done by
recreate(), or prompt the user to relaunch the app to make the changes take effect.
How it works?
Fontize saves the resource ID of the font you provide to SharedPreferences. It extends AppCompatTextView class to inherit all the properties of a TextView, but overrides the default inflating behaviour. It applies the typography when the view is inflated.
Only TextViews?
I'll try to add support for other views in the future. Contributions are always welcome.
