Change font for EditText in Android?
Solution 1
editText.setTypeface(Typeface.SERIF);
As like as for TextView.
<TextView
...
android:typeface="serif"
... />
Edit: Above is the XML
Solution 2
Solution1:: Just call these method by passing parent view as argument.
private void overrideFonts(final Context context, final View v) {
try {
if (v instanceof ViewGroup) {
ViewGroup vg = (ViewGroup) v;
for (int i = 0; i < vg.getChildCount(); i++) {
View child = vg.getChildAt(i);
overrideFonts(context, child);
}
} else if (v instanceof EditText) {
((TextView) v).setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "font.ttf"));
}
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
Solution2:: you can subclass the TextView class with your custom font and use it instead of textview.
public class MyEditView extends EditText{
public MyEditView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
init();
}
public MyEditView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init();
}
public MyEditView(Context context) {
super(context);
init();
}
private void init() {
if (!isInEditMode()) {
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "font.ttf");
setTypeface(tf);
}
}
}
Solution 3
Create a fonts folder on assets folder and put your .ttf font file, then into onCreate() function write:
EditText editText =(EditText)findViewById(R.id.insert_yors_edit_text_layout);
Typeface type = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/yours_font.ttf");
editText.setTypeface(type);
Solution 4
You can create font folder under res directory in last version Android studio 3 .Then copy and past it you'r font to font folder. Now just add fontFamily
to EditText tag xml.
like below.
<EditText
android:id="@+id/subject"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/headerShare"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:background="@drawable/edittext_bg"
android:fontFamily="@font/ritaric"
android:gravity="start"
android:hint="Subject"
android:inputType="text"
android:maxHeight="50dp"
android:padding="16dp"
android:textColor="@color/black"
android:textColorHint="@color/black"
android:textSize="@dimen/colors_textview_size" />
We use android:fontFamily="@font/ritaric"
for apply font on EditText.
Solution 5
void setFont(Context context, ViewGroup vg)
{
final String FONT_NAME = "lato_bold.ttf";
for (int i = 0; i < vg.getChildCount(); i++)
{
View v = vg.getChildAt(i);
if (v instanceof ViewGroup)
setFont(context, (ViewGroup) v);
else if (v instanceof TextView)
{
((TextView) v).setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), FONT_NAME ));
}
else if (v instanceof EditText)
{
((EditText) v).setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), FONT_NAME ));
}
else if (v instanceof Button)
{
((Button) v).setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), FONT_NAME ));
}
else if (v instanceof CheckBox)
{
((CheckBox) v).setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), FONT_NAME ));
}
else if (v instanceof RadioButton)
{
((RadioButton) v).setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), FONT_NAME ));
}
}
}
In your Activity or Fragment , get the main layout
Inflater inflater = (Inflater) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
//For Activity
//Inflater inflater = (Inflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.main_fragment, container, false);
//For Activity
//View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.signup_fragment, null, false);
if (v instanceof ViewGroup)
{
setFont(getActivity(), (ViewGroup) v);
//For Activity
//setFont(this, (ViewGroup) v);
}

Is there any way to change the font for a EditText in Android? I want it to match the font's I set for all my textViews.
