Custom Fonts and Custom Textview on Android

by

The constructor of TextView calls setTypeface(Typeface tf, int style) with the style parameter retrieved from the XML attribute android:textStyle. So, if you want to intercept this call to force your own typeface you can override this method as follow: 

public void setTypeface(Typeface tf, int style) {
    Typeface normalTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "font/your_normal_font.ttf");
    Typeface boldTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "font/your_bold_font.ttf");

    if (style == Typeface.BOLD) {
        super.setTypeface(boldTypeface/*, -1*/);
    } else {
        super.setTypeface(normalTypeface/*, -1*/);
    }
}
