Android Typeface createFromAsset
android, android-fonts, android-typeface
Solution
You can use your `View`'s `getContext()` method to get the current `Context`, then use it to get the assets:
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "robotobold.ttf");
Problem
I Have a Custom View which draws text onto the `Canvas`. I want to change the `font` to a font stored in the assets folder. I am using `Android Studio` so I created a folder src/main/assets and placed my ttf files in there. ``` Paint txt = new Paint() Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "robotobold.ttf"); txt.setTypeface(font); ``` Problem is `Android Studio` doesn't recognize getAssets() inside my Custom View, however, it recognizes it inside my Activity. I have tried passing `Typeface` through from my `Activity` but when I do it it doesn't change the `font`.
