How to change fontFamily dynamically though Java code

Question

As per https://stackoverflow.com/a/13329907/3286489, we could change the fontFamily of the TextView. But how could I set that using Java code? I can't find the API.

if you wants to change the fontTypeFace of textview specifically the you may provide a style attribute to TextView type at styles document and add the font family to that, after that you dont need to setTypeFace to any of the textview. — Ankush Bist, Jun 14 '16 at 04:48

You can use the setTypeface() method on TextView in java code .

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset( getAssets(), "fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf" );
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview1);
tv.setTypeface(font);

Please visit the API link

Hope you got your answer !!!

Almost there, the better answer is in http://stackoverflow.com/a/14344132/3286489 – Elye Jun 14 '16 at 07:11
@Elye Would suggest to use `createFromAsset()` and not `()` as it is more efficient and saves from you from using extraneous memory... :) .. – prashant0205 Jun 14 '16 at 07:20
I meant not `create()` – prashant0205 Jun 14 '16 at 07:29
