setting fonts in Android via typeface

The Android system default font supports four fonts, respectively:

1. Noraml (normal font, default font used by the system)
2. Sans (non-liner font)
3. Serif (serif font)
4. Monospace (equal width font)

Other font files (*.ttf) can also be used

The difference between the following three types of fonts can be seen:

first, using the system's own fonts

1. modifying fonts in XML

    <!--use the default sans font--<TextViewAndroid:id="@+id/sans"android:text="Hello,world"Android:textsize="20SP"Android:typeface="Sans"/><!--use the default serifs font--<textview android:id= "@+id/serif" android:text= "Hello,World" Span class= "Hljs-attribute" >android:textsize= "20sp"  Android:typeface= "serif"/> <!--use the default monospace font-- <textview android:id= "@+id/monospace" android:text= "Hello,World" android:textsize= "20sp"  Android:typeface= "monospace"/>        

2. Modifying fonts in Java code

First step: Get TextView instances

  //获取textView实例  TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.textview);

Step two: Set the font

   //设置serif字体   textView.setTypeface(Typeface.SERIF);   //设置sans字体   textView.setTypeface(Typeface.SANS_SERIF); //设置monospace字体 textView.setTypeface(Typeface.MONOSPACE);

second, in Android can introduce other fonts

The first step: Create a new fonts directory under the assets directory and place the TTF font file here,

Step two: Call in the program

//实例化TextViewTextView textView = findViewById(R.id.textview);//得到AssetManagerAssetManager mgr=getAssets();//根据路径得到TypefaceTypeface tf=Typeface.createFromAsset(mgr, "fonts/pocknum.ttf");//设置字体textView.setTypeface(tf);
