I am using WebView and applying some styling to WebView's text. My fonts are located in the res/font folder right now and I am using those fonts to apply custom font. I creating my own html and applying font like this:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">@font-face {font-family:MyFont;
src: url("file:///android_asset/fonts/open_sans_regular.ttf")}
body {font-family: MyFont;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
//MY CONTENT GOES HERE
</body>
</html>
Everything is working fine. But my problem is this solution making me copy font inside res/font to assets folder. Because I have to reference font like this
file:///android_asset/fonts/open_sans_regular.ttf. Not only this copying is bad practise but also increasing the size of my apk.
My quesion is/are:
How can I access file path (of the font that is located in the
res/fonts) and use it instead of thisfile:///android_asset/fonts/open_sans_regular.ttfso that I do not have to copy my fonts?You might probably suggest why not move those font completely to
assetsfolder. I cannot do this because those fonts are refernced in mystyles. Like this:
<style name="Font.OpenSans.Light">
<item name="android:fontFamily">@font/open_sans_regular</item>
</style>
As you can see, removing those fonts will cause issues in my styles. May be, I can move the fonts to assets folder and access them from styles? Is this even possible?
Any suggestios would be greatly appreciated.
