Using string resource as typeface

[Jake-Piatkowski]

Is it possible to use a string resource as the typeface?

For example instead of this:

pixlui:typeface="GillSansStd BoldCondensed.otf"

I'd prefer to do this:

pixlui:typeface="@string/font1"

and somewhere else in my XML value resource files:

<string name="font1">GillSansStd BoldCondensed.otf</string>

Currently it seems that if I try to do this, the typeface doesn't get set at all - I get the following message: Could not get typeface: native typeface cannot be made with name: @string/font1.

Is there any chance of me achieving the effect I need?

I will include style / string in the next release !

Nothing ready in /dev/ branch for the moment

The only current way to do that is to override in each custom components this methods

private void setCustomFont(Context ctx, AttributeSet attrs) {
String typefaceName = attrs.getAttributeValue(
PixlUIContants.SCHEMA_URL, EDITTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_FONT_NAME);
if (typefaceName != null) {
setPaintFlags(this.getPaintFlags() | Paint.SUBPIXEL_TEXT_FLAG
| Paint.LINEAR_TEXT_FLAG);
setCustomFont(ctx, typefaceName);
}
}

the var "attrs" contains your "@string/font1"

You can use:

style="@style/AppTheme.TextOswaldRegular"
