MagicViews

Provides a simple way to set custom font in Android application. But, this is just a beginning. A lot of cool and awesome stuff is coming soon in this library.

Usage

1. Add the library as a dependency to your build.gradle

compile 'com.ivankocijan:MagicViews:version@aar'

2. Add your application namespace to the root element in the XML xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

3. Specify path to fonts folder in onCreate method of your Application class (See example app).

   public class MyApplication extends Application {
   
        @Override
        public void onCreate() {
            super.onCreate();
            
             MagicViews.setFontFolderPath(this, "fontFolderPath");
        
        }
   
   }
   

4. Instead of TextView use com.ivankocijan.magicviews.views.MagicTextView

    <com.ivankocijan.magicviews.views.MagicTextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:typeFace="cha_chicle.otf"/>

Change log

V2.0.1

• Removed static reference to context in MagicFont.java

V2.0.0

• Support for adding font folder path - Going through all assets to find appropriate font was too slow on some phones so as of this version you need to initialize MagicViews by telling the library where fonts will be located. You can do it by calling MagicViews.setFontFolderPath(Context ctx, String fontFolderPath) in onCreate method of your application class. This approach works approximately 70% faster.
• Support for Android L - The library no longer clashes with new v7 and v4 libraries
