Here is my problem :

I want to be able to change the font of several TextView at the same time in my android application.

Changing it in the XML files seems to be complicated, extending TextView class brings memory problems (see here).

So i tried to change the font in the java code, like that :

Typeface robotoThin = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/Roboto-Thin-webfont.ttf");
TextView index_slogan = ((TextView)findViewById(R.id.index_slogan));
index_slogan.setTypeface(robotoThin);

That's working great, but i'd rather to select more than one Textview, with findViewsWithText, but i can't understand how it works...

Some help would be appreciated.

EDIT :

Ok so it didn't work because it's been implemented since API level 14, and i was trying on API level 10...

Do you know any other functions to find multiple views?

1- how to set Costume font ,the best way to set costume font is to do that programmatically and the best and easier way to do that , register public static Typeface in ur Api or main class for example I've Api.class content every costume things i made

add

public static Typeface myfont;

then when i call the Api.class on my activity creation set the font type

Api.myfont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/Roboto-Thin-webfont.ttf");

now you can use Api.myfont for every textview or Edittext or any other views for example

editText.setTypeface(Api.myfont);
myradio.setTypeface(Api.myfont);
mytextview.setTypeface(Api.myfont);
mycheckBox.setTypeface(Api.myfont);

2 - findViewsWithText() will fetch the view's has android:contentDescription="blabla"

    one more thing to pay attention regarding the `findViewsWithText` is that it needs you to create the input View Array object before you call the function. If you send a null object, the method will fail – Thomas May 09 '14 at 12:57

The easiest way to do this is to create a custom TextView and in to set the font there. That way you can even create custom styleables, that define what font to use.

Take a look at this answer on how the view should look and this documentation about custom styleables.
