How set Spannable object font with custom font


I have Spannable object which I want to set its font by a custom font I have loaded before.

Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/font_Name.ttf");
Spannable span1 = /*Spannable Item*/;

/// I want to set span1 to have tf font face???
/// Here where I want help.

EDIT :
My problem is that I want to set two different custom fonts for the text view so I am working with the Spannable


Solution

  • This is a late answer but will help others to solve the issue.

    Use the following code:(I'm using Bangla and Tamil font)

      TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.custom_fonts);  
            txt.setTextSize(30);
            Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Akshar.ttf");
            Typeface font2 = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "bangla.ttf");   
            SpannableStringBuilder SS = new SpannableStringBuilder("আমারநல்வரவு");
            SS.setSpan (new CustomTypefaceSpan("", font2), 0, 4,Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE);
            SS.setSpan (new CustomTypefaceSpan("", font), 4, 11,Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE);
            txt.setText(SS);
    

    The outcome is:

    enter image description here


    CustomTypefaceSpan Class:

    package my.app;
    import android.graphics.Paint;
    import android.graphics.Typeface;
    import android.text.TextPaint;
    import android.text.style.TypefaceSpan;
    
    public class CustomTypefaceSpan extends TypefaceSpan {
    
    private final Typeface newType;
    
    public CustomTypefaceSpan(String family, Typeface type) {
        super(family);
        newType = type;
    }
    
    @Override
    public void updateDrawState(TextPaint ds) {
        applyCustomTypeFace(ds, newType);
    }
    
    @Override
    public void updateMeasureState(TextPaint paint) {
        applyCustomTypeFace(paint, newType);
    }
    
    private static void applyCustomTypeFace(Paint paint, Typeface tf) {
        int oldStyle;
        Typeface old = paint.getTypeface();
        if (old == null) {
            oldStyle = 0;
        } else {
            oldStyle = old.getStyle();
        }
    
        int fake = oldStyle & ~tf.getStyle();
        if ((fake & Typeface.BOLD) != 0) {
            paint.setFakeBoldText(true);
        }
    
        if ((fake & Typeface.ITALIC) != 0) {
            paint.setTextSkewX(-0.25f);
        }
    
        paint.setTypeface(tf);
    }
    }
