A full example of custom fonts in XML using data binding and including font caching.

Font fontbinding
Overview

[Deprecated]

Fonts in XML are now supported by the Android support library as of 26.0, including in styles and themes. I recommend using the support library and IDE integration for all your modern font needs! https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/look-and-feel/fonts-in-xml.html#using-support-lib

fontbinding

Easy custom fonts in XML using data binding.

No setup required, no extra Java code, and no custom views.

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:font="@{`alegreya`}"
    />

Drawing

This example includes a simple font cache that automatically loads names from your assets/fonts folder and lazy-loads typefaces. Just drag and drop font files and use them in XML by their normal or lowercase filenames (e.g. "Roboto-Italic" or "roboto-italic" for Roboto-Italic.otf). That's it!

Data Binding

Make sure to use the data binding framework to inflate your layout.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_main);
    }
}

More about data binding: http://developer.android.com/tools/data-binding/guide.html

Custom Naming

You can set custom names for your fonts, but you don't have to.

FontCache.getInstance().addFont("alegreya", "Alegreya-Regular.ttf");

Note:

It's not currently possible to define custom attributes in styles using data binding. If you require this, check out Calligraphy by Chris Jenx.

  • Should it work to use this method with Design Support components and custom layouts?

    Should it work to use this method with Design Support components and custom layouts?

    In my project I have both a TabLayout and a NavigationDrawer.

    For the TabLayout I inflate each tab as a custom layout. Like this:

    LinearLayout appTab = (LinearLayout) LayoutInflater.from(activity).inflate(R.layout.custom_tab, null);
TextView appCardsTextView = (TextView) appTab.findViewById(R.id.tab_text);
appCardsTextView.setText("Application");
ImageView appCardsImageView = (ImageView) appTab.findViewById(R.id.tab_icon);
appCardsImageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_application);
tabLayout.getTabAt(0).setCustomView(appTab);

    custom_tab.xml:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <data>
    </data>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal">

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="34dp"
            android:layout_height="34dp"
            android:id="@+id/tab_icon"/>

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:id="@+id/tab_text"
            android:textColor="@color/white"
            android:textSize="@dimen/tab_label"
            android:text="testing"
            app:font="@{`lato_hairline`}" <---- NOT WORKING!
        />

    </LinearLayout>

</layout>

    Is there a way to make it set the font in a situation like this through XML? I found a workaround setting it through Java that I use for now: appCardsTextView.setTypeface(FontCache.getInstance(appCardsTextView.getContext()).get("lato_hairline")); But for XML it does not bind to the BindingAdapter

    I have the same problem for my NavigationView (sidebar) where I might have to get each item and set it through Java as well.

    Thanks.

  • Removing memory leak and simplifying the api

    Removing memory leak and simplifying the api

    Thank @lisawray for this great utility, I thought of these improvements and implemented them.

    • Holding on to the context is a static manner is a memory leak and we can avoid that altogether.
    • Also there is no need for instantiating this class (since our maps are static) and thus we can simplify the API by just using get() method.
    • Also we can lazily instantiate our maps.

  • Font cache checks for wrong name

    Font cache checks for wrong name

    In the font cache the font is stored in the cache with the filename, but when this font is needed for another time the containsKey checks for the alias of the font.

    Example: fontFilename: MyFont-SemiBold.otf stored in cache: fontFilename checked: filename (myfont-semibold) [which is the alias]
