Can I change the language of the Android app?

I am developing a news application for the Gujarati language. Now my problem is that it works well, but it shows squares ([]) instead of fonts, so how can I make it visible in Gujarati so that it can display Gujarati fonts.

Thanks in advance.

First of all copy the font to your assets folder, then write

Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/gujaratifont.otf");


and then:

text.setTypeFace(tf);

This is the way to change the font of the font using xml.

  • Define a new name: xmlns:your_namespace="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.nound.test"

    ("com.nound.test" is the package name as defined in Manifest.xml)

  • Define a custom attribute in the /res/values/attrs.xml file.

    <resources>
    <declare-styleable name="TypefacedTextView">
         <attr name="textStyle" format="string"/>
    </declare-styleable> </resources>

  • Java class that extends TextView ... as follows Public class TypefacedTextView extends TextView {

    public TypefacedTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);

    //Typeface.createFromAsset doesn't work in the layout editor. Skipping...
    if (isInEditMode()) {
        return;
    }

    TypedArray styledAttrs = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.TypefacedTextView);
    //String fontName = styledAttrs.getString(R.styleable.TypefacedTextView_typeface);
    String fontNameForBold = styledAttrs.getString(R.styleable.TypefacedTextView_textStyle);
    styledAttrs.recycle();

    if (fontNameForBold!=null && fontNameForBold.equals("bold")) {
        Typeface typeface_bold = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/tahoma/tahoma_bold.ttf");
        setTypeface(typeface_bold);
    }else{
        Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/tahoma/tahoma.ttf");
        setTypeface(typeface);
    }
}

  • Here is the layout code where you want to change the font of the font. in this "com.nound.test.ui" is the above (3-dot) java file package name. TypefacedTextView is the name of the class.



<com.nound.test.ui.TypefacedTextView
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            xmlns:your_namespace="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.nound.test"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Custom fonts in XML are easy_bold font"
            your_namespace:textStyle="bold" />


<com.nound.test.ui.TypefacedTextView
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            xmlns:your_namespace="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.nound.test"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Custom fonts in XML are easy_regular font"
            />

it's enough to do it ...
