1,319 PointsFonts in Android
Hi How do I add a font file properly in Android Studio?
So far, I have this code:
TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.title); Typeface typeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "desyrel"); textView.setTypeface(typeFace);
Not sure where to put the font file...I saw some help online that mentioned putting it in an assets folder; I see a folder named that in the intermediaries folder...but do I create the folder somewhere else?
Thanks so much

One great resource for Android extensions is the Android Arsenal. If you do a search for Fonts there you will see quite a few free font related libraries, which may make your life easier.

1,319 PointsOddly, those resources point to an assets folder..which I don't seem to have by default in my project...I found an assets folder in an "intermediaries" folder..but no luck with that..when I put the fonts folder in the res folder and the program barked at me for it...

Hmm, here is a more up to date posting that looks like it is rather thorough.
Sorry about that.
