TypeFaced

TypeFaced is a library which allow developers to easily create widely used Android UI controls such as TextView, Button, EditTextView, etc with custom typefaces (Link to definition of typeface). Without TypeFaced, developer has to bind any non-default font programmatically to his/her application rather than configuring it in layout.xml.

With TypeFaced, you could customize following UI controls in your Android application

• TypeFacedTextView
• TypeFacedEditText
• TypeFacedButton
• TypeFacedRadioButton
• TypeFacedCheckBox
• TypeFacedToggleButton
• TypeFacedSwitch

####How to configure TypeFaced in your project

In your Android project, just include the following dependency to build.gradle's dependency list.

Gradle

repositories {
  jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.chootdev:typefaced:1.1.7'
}

if you using maven use following

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.chootdev</groupId>
  <artifactId>typefaced</artifactId>
  <version>1.1.7</version>
  <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

Assets

Font files you are planning to use should be added to project's assets folder as shown below.

Under your assets folder, create a new folder called "fonts", and place all your font (ttf) files inside that.

After configuring the TypeFaced library in your project, it is ready to use in your layout.xml and controls will have the configured typeface.

Usage

TextView (TypeFacedTextView)

<com.chootdev.typefaced.TypeFacedTextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!"
        app:textView_font="YOUR_FONT_NAME.ttf/>

Button (TypeFacedButton)

<com.chootdev.typefaced.TypeFacedButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:button_font="YOUR_FONT_NAME.ttf"/>

EditText (TypeFacedEditText)

<com.chootdev.typefaced.TypeFacedEditText
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:button_font="YOUR_FONT_NAME.ttf"/>

RadioButton (TypeFacedRadioButton)

<com.chootdev.typefaced.TypeFacedRadioButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:button_font="YOUR_FONT_NAME.ttf"/>

CheckBox (TypeFacedCheckbox)

<com.chootdev.typefaced.TypeFacedCheckbox
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:button_font="YOUR_FONT_NAME.ttf"/>

ToggleButton (TypeFacedToggleButton)

<com.chootdev.typefaced.TypeFacedToggleButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:button_font="YOUR_FONT_NAME.ttf"/>

Switch (TypeFacedSwitch)

<com.chootdev.typefaced.TypeFacedSwitch
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:button_font="YOUR_FONT_NAME.ttf"/>

As you have noticed above, it is matter of specify the font name with the font tile extension .ttf to each custom view. TypeFaced has tested for .otf, .eot font file types as well.

NOTE

TypeFaced also contains some pre-added fonts with the library,

Roboto-Bold.ttf
Roboto-Italic.ttf
Roboto-Light.ttf
Roboto-LightItalic.ttf
Roboto-Medium.ttf
Roboto-Regular.ttf
Roboto-Thin.ttf
Roboto-ThinItalic.ttf
