Custom font for Android listview

Question

I have a custom font for my android activity. MainActivity.class ``` private void initControls() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub header = (TextView) findViewById (R.id.tvAccommodations); lv = (ListView) findViewById (R.id.lvAccommodations); text = (TextView) findViewById (R.id.textView); Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/heartbre.ttf"); header.setTypeface(tf); text.setTypeface(tf); ArrayAdapter adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.abra_hotel, R.layout.custom_list_text); lv.setAdapter(adapter); header.setText(value); ``` custom_list_text.xml ``` ``` Android throws NullPointerException. Why is it so? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. LOGCAT: ``` 03-0…

Accepted Answer

Here is the custom adapter class and the constructor

```
class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>{

Context context; 
    int layoutResourceId;    
    CharSequence data[] = null;
    Typeface tf;

public CustomAdapter(Context context, int layoutResourceId, CharSequence[] data, String FONT ) { 
    super(context, layoutResourceId, data);
    this.layoutResourceId = layoutResourceId;
    this.context = context;
    this.data = data;
    tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), FONT);
}   
```

Put the font you want to use in your assets folder and fill your listview like this:

```
listAdapter = new CustomAdapter(this, R.layout.custom_list_text, R.array.abra_hotel, "name_of_font.ttf");
```
