Assets folder in Android Studio?
Solution 1
I am not sure if there has been any bug fixes since this was asked, but I am using the current structure for a project in Android Studio 0.5.2:
root-module
|--.idea
|--app
|----build
|----src
|------main
|--------assets
|----------SomeFont.ttc
|----------AnotherFont.otf
|--------java
|----------source code here
|--------res
|------AndroidManifest.xml
|----build.gradle
And then obtain it by calling
Typeface.createFromAsset(mContext.getResources().getAssets(), "SomeFont.ttc");
Word of caution though, there is a bug (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9904) that prevents typefaces from being garbage collected properly. Use a singleton!
Solution 2
Create Assets folder Right click on app->>new->>Folder->>AssetsFolder like below image
Put your font inside this folder by just copy and paste. and use below code for example..
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "YourFontName.ttf");
setTypeface(tf);

Im trying to use a custom font, and I've read that I suppose to place the fonts in assets/fonts. I'm using Android Studio and it doesn't seem like I have a assets folder. So I created one. But my app crashes when I place the assets folder in src/main. Im using this code to load my fonts.
Typeface fontRegular = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/DroidSans.ttf"); Typeface fontBold = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf"); myDeviceModelTxt.setTypeface(fontRegular);
What am I doing wrong?
