Android : Crouton lib and custom font

Question

I use custom fonts in my app so i want a custom font for Crouton. I 've tried to do it with setTextAppearance, it doesn't work.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.ecab.ui.custom.TextViewCustomFont
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.crouton"
    android:id="@+id/crouton"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/ban_confirmation"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="TEST"
    android:textColor="@android:color/white"
    custom:typeface="gothamBold" />

In Style class :

INFOCUSTOM = new Builder().setDuration(3000).setTextAppearance(R.id.crouton).build();

Then, I've tried to do it by changing setTypeface() with my font, it doesn't work.

In Crouton class :

private TextView initializeTextView(final Resources resources) {
TextView text = new TextView(this.activity);
    text.setId(TEXT_ID);
    text.setText(this.text);
    text.setTypeface(MyFonts.getGothamBookBold(this.activity));
    Log.d(Constants.D_TAG, "chaneg the typeFace");
    text.setGravity(this.style.gravity);
    // set the text color if set
    if (this.style.textColorResourceId != 0) {
      text.setTextColor(resources.getColor(this.style.textColorResourceId));
    }

    // Set the text size. If the user has set a text size and text
    // appearance, the text size in the text appearance
    // will override this.
    if (this.style.textSize != 0) {
      text.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, this.style.textSize);
    }

    // Setup the shadow if requested
    if (this.style.textShadowColorResId != 0) {
      initializeTextViewShadow(resources, text);
    }

    // Set the text appearance
    if (this.style.textAppearanceResId != 0) {
      text.setTextAppearance(this.activity, this.style.textAppearanceResId);
    }
    return text;
  }

What can i do to have a custom Font ?

ps : library version ==> 1.7

@aat How are you editing the Crouton.class file? It's locked in build/intermediates/exploded-aar/de-key..../crouton/1.8.5/classes.jar — ono, May 21 '15 at 20:18
@ono Library is open source so you can modify sources and add it to your project. — mrroboaat, May 24 '15 at 12:48

Okay, I found the problem !

It works with the second solution by changing the Typeface. I had just forget to remove the

setTextAppearance(R.id.crouton)

in the Style class. So my custom style is like this :

INFOCUSTOM = new Builder().setDuration(3000).setBackgroundDrawable(R.drawable.ban_confirmation).setHeight(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)
          .build();

One problem resolves, another arrives :) ! With the background drawable, the text is not vertically center

You can a custom Style that uses the resourceId of your text appearance via Style.Builder.setTextAppearance(...).

This takes a reference from your styles.xml and uses it within the internal TextView of the Crouton.

Then you can call Crouton.makeText or Crouton.showText with your custom Style.

How does MyFonts.getGothamBookBold() look like?

This however should work:

  private TextView initializeTextView(final Resources resources) {
    TextView text = new TextView(this.activity);
    text.setId(TEXT_ID);
    text.setText(this.text);
    Typeface myTypeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.activity.getAssets(), "gothamBold.ttf"); 
    text.setTypeface(myTypeFace);
    text.setGravity(this.style.gravity);

    // set the text color if set
    if (this.style.textColorResourceId != 0) {
      text.setTextColor(resources.getColor(this.style.textColorResourceId));
    }

I have a class to manage my custom fonts like this : `public static Typeface getGothamBookBold(Context ctx) { return Typeface.createFromAsset(ctx.getAssets(), BASE + "Gotham-Bold.otf"); }` – mrroboaat Apr 21 '13 at 09:01

@ono I'm not sure I understand your question. I'm not editing the Crouton source code. – Ahmad May 21 '15 at 20:26
@Ahmad aren't you editing the `initializeTextView` method in the Crouton.class? – ono May 21 '15 at 20:34
@ono Ah, sorry. I didn't look at the context of the question. I've answered this question two years ago and couldn't remember that the OP asked for a custom Version of Cruston. Basically you have to, instead of adding Crouton as a dependency through gradle, add it as a module and modify the source yourself. I just checked, and it seem like Crouton still does not support custom fonts, so that's one of the possible solutions. Probably the most straightforward one. – Ahmad May 21 '15 at 20:55
