RobotoViews

Deprecation

This library is deprecated. Thank you for using it! You can go ahead to use more feature-complete libraries like Calligraphy, or modern techniques like font binding.

RobotoViews is an Android library hosting a collection of Views that use the Roboto font, including the newest member of the family, Roboto Slab. The current version includes the following views:

• RobotoTextView
• RobotoButton
• RobotoEditText
• RobotoAutoCompleteTextView
• RobotoCheckBox
• RobotoRadioButton
• RobotoToggleButton
• RobotoCheckedTextView
• RobotoSwitch (Android 4.0+)

Usage

Maven

dependency>
  <groupId>com.eevoskos</groupId>
  <artifactId>robotoviews</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <type>aar</type>
</dependency>

Gradle

compile 'com.eevoskos:robotoviews:1.0.+@aar'

Eclipse Library Project

Download the project, import it in Eclipse as an Android library project and reference it in your project.

---

Then simply add Roboto views programmatically or in your xml layouts like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:roboto="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <com.eevoskos.robotoviews.widget.RobotoTextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Roboto Regular"
        roboto:typeface="regular" />

</LinearLayout>

You can set the typeface attribute to any of the following available values:

regular
bold
italic
bold_italic
black
black_italic
condensed
condensed_bold
condensed_italic
condensed_bold_italic
light
light_italic
medium
medium_italic
thin
thin_italic
slab_regular
slab_bold
slab_light
slab_thin

The loading of the typefaces is handled by the library. The typefaces are lazily loaded from the resources when necessary and kept in memory for future use at runtime.

Sample

The library includes a sample application (in the /sample folder) that demonstrates how the views look like. This is an example of the RobotoTextView using all available typefaces:
