Giving light style to text

Question

I want my text view in android to be source sans pro light 36 PX. How can I set it to source sans and light format. Currently android offers only regular,bold and italics .

Answer 1

You will have to find the .ttf file that is sans pro light, add it in the assets folder and apply it programaticlly.

And then you add it with this code:

tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), fontName);
