How to set font custom font to Spinner text programmatically?
This is what worked for me (using ideas both from CommonsWare's and gsanllorente's answers):
private static class MySpinnerAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
// Initialise custom font, for example:
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(),
"fonts/Blambot.otf");
// (In reality I used a manager which caches the Typeface objects)
// Typeface font = FontManager.getInstance().getFont(getContext(), BLAMBOT);
private MySpinnerAdapter(Context context, int resource, List<String> items) {
super(context, resource, items);
}
// Affects default (closed) state of the spinner
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
TextView view = (TextView) super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
view.setTypeface(font);
return view;
}
// Affects opened state of the spinner
@Override
public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
TextView view = (TextView) super.getDropDownView(position, convertView, parent);
view.setTypeface(font);
return view;
}
}
If you, like me, originally populated the Spinner using ArrayAdapter.createFromResource() and an array resource (as in Spinner documentation), then you'd use MySpinnerAdapter like this:
MySpinnerAdapter<String> adapter = new MySpinnerAdapter(
getContext(),
R.layout.view_spinner_item,
Arrays.asList(getResources().getStringArray(R.array.my_array))
);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
You would apply the font through your own custom SpinnerAdapter, in getView() and getDropDownView().
If you implement your Adapter in another file, you can access the "getAssets()" function from the constructor of the Adapter, as you have the Context as a parameter.
public class YourItemAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
int recurso;
Typeface tf;
public YourItemAdapter(Context _context, int _resource,
List<String> _items) {
super(_context, _resource, _items);
recurso=_resource;
tf=Typeface.createFromAsset(_context.getAssets(),"font/digital-7.ttf");
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
//You can use the new tf here.
TextView spinner_text=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.text1);
spinner_text.setTypeface(tf);
}
}
Try this create custom custom_spinner.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.xxxx.xxxx.CheckedTextViewC
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/text1"
style="?android:attr/spinnerDropDownItemStyle"
android:singleLine="true"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:textSize="18sp"
/>
Create custom CheckedtextView like this
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.CheckedTextView;
public class CheckedTextViewC extends CheckedTextView {
public CheckedTextViewC(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public CheckedTextViewC(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public CheckedTextViewC(Context context) {
super(context);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public void setTypeface(Typeface tf, int style) {
if(!this.isInEditMode()){
Typeface normalTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "font/Roboto-Light.ttf");
Typeface boldTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "font/Roboto-Light.ttf");
if (style == Typeface.BOLD) {
super.setTypeface(boldTypeface/*, -1*/);
} else {
super.setTypeface(normalTypeface/*, -1*/);
}
}
}
}
implemente the new layout
adapter= new ArrayAdapter <String>(Menu.this,R.layout.custom_spinner, list);

For the compatibility reasons, you can use the styles and customized classes against the widgets in Android. Although above Android level 15, new
/res/fontresource folders were introduced:Font Resources in Android
Step 1: declare item_spinner.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.my_package.custom_views.FontTextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/tv_spinner"
style="@style/App_TextViewStyleSmall"
android:layout_gravity="start|bottom"
android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/dp_5"
android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/dp_5"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:gravity="start|bottom"
android:padding="@dimen/dp_10"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textAlignment="inherit" />
<!--declared in layout: item_spinner.xml-->
<!-- removed attributes: android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="@color/text_grey_light"
android:textSize="@dimen/sp_14" -->
<!--style="?android:attr/spinnerItemStyle"-->
step 2: declare item_spinner_dropdown.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.my_package.custom_views.FontTextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/tv_spinner"
style="@style/App_TextViewStyleSmall"
android:layout_gravity="start|bottom"
android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/dp_5"
android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/dp_5"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:gravity="start|bottom"
android:padding="@dimen/dp_10"
android:singleLine="true" />
<!--declared in layout: item_spinner_dropdown.xml -->
<!--removed: ?android:attr/dropdownListPreferredItemHeight-->
<!--style="?android:attr/spinnerDropDownItemStyle"-->
Step 3: Use spinner in layout:
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/ll_my_spinner"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/fet_bus_entity"
android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/dp_12"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<com.my_package.custom_views.FontTextView
style="@style/App_TextViewStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="start|bottom"
android:gravity="start|bottom"
android:text="@string/are_you_a" />
<Spinner
android:id="@+id/sp_my_spinner"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/dp_5"
android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/dp_5"
android:layout_gravity="end|bottom"
android:spinnerMode="dropdown" />
</LinearLayout>
[Note: id of the FontTextView is same in both the layouts, spinner item and drop down item]
Step 4: use it in the Activity/Fragment:
private void initSpinnerBusinessType(View rootView) {
String[] ar_dd_bus_type = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.ar_dd_bus_type);
List<String> lst_bus_type = Arrays.asList(ar_dd_bus_type);
ArrayList<String> ar_bus_type = new ArrayList<>(lst_bus_type);
//==
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(activity, R.layout.item_spinner, R.id.tv_spinner, ar_bus_type);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout
.item_spinner_dropdown);
//=========
Spinner sp_my_spinner= rootView.findViewById(R.id.sp_my_spinner);
sp_my_spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
}
