#Nifty

Nifty is an android library project with the goal of becoming a general purpose collection of enhancements. Currently, it's main attraction is the ability to specify typefaces from your /assets directory in XML and in styles.

##Usage

First off, you need to know how to use a library project

Once you've got that done, it's as simple as using NiftyButton or NiftyTextView where you would ordinarily use a Button or TextView. These classes are fully compatible and when you need to preview in the layout editor, you can just do a search/replace on them (to Button and TextView, respectively)

###In a style

####Example Style:

<style name="MyStyle" parent="@android:style/Theme">
        <item name="typeface">my_font_that_is_in_assets.ttf</item>
</style>

####Example XML:

<com.tomdignan.nifty.NiftyTextView
    android:id="@+id/hello"
    style="@style/MyStyle"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/hello_world" />    

###As an attribute in your layout

<com.tomdignan.nifty.NiftyTextView
    xmlns:nifty="http://schemas.tomdignan.com/nifty"
    nifty:typeface="my_font_that_is_in_assets.ttf"
    android:id="@+id/hello"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/hello_world" />
