how to change the font of a pagertitlestrip

Question

Typeface xyz=Typeface.createFromAsset(view.getContext().getAssets(),
                "fonts/xyz.ttf");
(TextView)abc.setTypeface(xyz);

This is how you create and set a custom typeface.

I need to set the typeface/font of a pagertitlestrip but there is no .setTypeFace function for pagertitlestrip. Does anyone know how I can do that anyway?

Answer 1

The PagerTitleStrip is actually extends ViewGroup, so you can just subclass it and iterate through each of its children to find the views that need their font to be changed:

public class CustomFontPagerTitleStrip extends PagerTitleStrip {
    public CustomFontPagerTitleStrip(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }
    public CustomFontPagerTitleStrip(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }
    protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
        super.onLayout(changed, l, t, r, b);
        Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/xyz.ttf");
        for (int i=0; i<this.getChildCount(); i++) {
            if (this.getChildAt(i) instanceof TextView) {
                ((TextView)this.getChildAt(i)).setTypeface(tf);
            }
        }
    }
}

The only downside is that it prevents Eclipse from being able to display your layout.
