I am using a simple TextView
in my activity and want to make it appear in a custom font 'Black Chancery'. I have put the blkchcry.ttf
file at location app>src>main>assets>fonts>blkchcry.ttf. But, the android studio can't find that font. Here's my AboutusActivity.java
code
public class AboutusActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_aboutus);
TextView tx = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.title);
Typeface custom_font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/blkchcry.ttf");
tx.setTypeface(custom_font);
}
}
and following is the activity_aboutus.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".AboutusActivity">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="About Rathi Classes"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"/>
<TextView
android:layout_below="@+id/title"
android:id="@+id/description"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="@string/about_text"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:layout_margin="10dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
and here is the logcat

I have tried cleaning the project but it failed to resolve the problem. Please help.
Paste Font here like this and also make your font name in small case :-
app > src > main > assets > fonts > blkchry.tff
set Font in java File like this :-
public class AboutusActivity extends Activity {
Context mContext;
Typeface fontblkchry;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mContext = this;
setContentView(R.layout.activity_about_us);
fontblkchry = Typeface.createFromAsset(mContext.getAssets(), "fonts/blkchry.ttf");
textview1.setTypeface(fontblkchry);
}
}
