Answer 1

First you have to create the “assets” folder in the “main” folder using the android studio wizard.

Here is the picture that will illustrate the procedure.

Second you have to create the ”fonts” folder under the “assets” folder. Here is the picture that will illustrate the procedure.

Third you have put your font.ttf/font.otf file in the fonts folder.

Here is the activity_main.xml code.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:text="@string/my_text"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />


</LinearLayout>

Here is the MainActivity.java code

package com.example.documentviewwithcustomfont;

import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.TextView;

import com.bluejamesbond.text.DocumentView;
import com.bluejamesbond.text.style.TextAlignment;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    TextView textView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);

        DocumentView documentView = new DocumentView(this, DocumentView.PLAIN_TEXT);
        documentView.getDocumentLayoutParams().setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.JUSTIFIED);

        Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/proxima_nova_regular.ttf");

        textView.setTypeface(font);


    }

}
