Setting custom font not working

[zachtom]

I am trying to use this library for last 2 days but no luck. I believe I followed every step in guide lines.

I am using compile 'uk.co.chrisjenx:calligraphy:2.1.0'

Within Application onCreate I have, CalligraphyConfig.initDefault(new CalligraphyConfig.Builder() .setDefaultFontPath("fonts/Roboto-Italic.ttf") .setFontAttrId(R.attr.fontPath) .build() );

I have only one activity and others are all fragments. So in main activity I have added @Override protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) { super.attachBaseContext(CalligraphyContextWrapper.wrap(newBase)); }

Now in styles.xml I have

and,

<style name="TextAppearance.FontPath" parent="android:TextAppearance">
    <!-- Custom Attr-->
    <item name="fontPath">fonts/Roboto-Italic.ttf</item>
</style>

None of this is changing the font for text views. Whats going wrong on my side?

Thanks.

What does <item name="android:textViewStyle">@style/AppTheme.TextAppearance</item> inherit from?

Do you ever apply TextAppearance.FontPath to any TextView?

[zachtom]

Yes, I have applied TextAppearance.FontPath but no effect. FOr more clarity i am including my full styles.xml file here. Please let me know if I am missing something,

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
    <!--To change the text styling of options menu items</item>-->
    <item name="android:itemTextAppearance">@style/MyActionBar.MenuTextStyle</item>
    <!--To change the background of options menu-->
    <item name="android:itemBackground">@color/appColor</item>
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/Black</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/appColor</item>
    <item name="android:textViewStyle">@style/AppTheme.TextAppearance</item>
</style>


<style name="AppTheme.TextAppearance" parent="android:Widget.TextView">
    <item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
    <item name="fontPath">fonts/Roboto-Italic.ttf</item>
</style>

<style name="TextAppearance.FontPath" parent="android:TextAppearance">

</style>

<style name="DialogAnimation">

CustomEditText.java (support multiple typeface) https://gist.github.com/korrio/3e54a23d538ac587f1ca

I modified the CustomEditText with CalligraphyTypefaceSpan from (https://github.com/chrisjenx/Calligraphy)

Usage:

        int selectionStart = et.getSelectionStart();
        int selectionEnd = et.getSelectionEnd();
        // et (CustomEditText)
        et.setColor(Color.RED, selectionStart, selectionEnd);
        et.setFont(TypefaceUtils.load(getActivity().getAssets(), "fonts/ThaiSansNeue-Black.ttf"),selectionStart,selectionEnd);

@zachtom nothing seems untowards, you would have to create a mini sample project as if you have done everything correctly it should just work, as does the CalligraphySample

[chrisjenx]

Oh and FYI, dont inherit from Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar then inherit your Text Styles from android.Widget.TextView thats just wrong. Always use the AppCompat styles where applicable.

[mdumrauf]

@chrisjenx does Calligraphy ignore android:textViewStyle if it is not initialized in the Application class? It keeps ignoring this attribute in my project too.

So it seems like a bug in the support library, which they say it is fixed but seems to me is not https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=169873
