How to change fontFamily dynamically though Java code

Question

As per https://stackoverflow.com/a/13329907/3286489, we could change the fontFamily of the TextView. But how could I set that using Java code? I can't find the API.

if you wants to change the fontTypeFace of textview specifically the you may provide a style attribute to TextView type at styles document and add the font family to that, after that you dont need to setTypeFace to any of the textview. — Ankush Bist

You can use the setTypeface() method on TextView in java code .

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset( getAssets(), "fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf" );
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview1);
tv.setTypeface(font);

Please visit the API link

Hope you got your answer !!!

@Elye Would suggest to use createFromAsset() and not () as it is more efficient and saves from you from using extraneous memory... :) ..

I meant not create()
