How Do I Add Custom Font On Menu Item In Android?

I have been trying to add a font to my menu items and have tried few solutions i found but none of them worked for me. Method 1 :How to set custom typeface to items in NavigationVi

Solution 1:

you can use this lib https://github.com/chrisjenx/Calligraphy. It will set the default font to your menuItem when you attach it to a context

Solution 2:

There is a library https://github.com/chrisjenx/Calligraphy,

Add this dependency to your build gradle

dependencies {
    compile 'uk.co.chrisjenx:calligraphy:2.3.0'
}

Then in your activity override this method

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    CalligraphyConfig.initDefault(new CalligraphyConfig.Builder()
                            .setDefaultFontPath("fonts/Roboto-RobotoRegular.ttf")
                            .setFontAttrId(R.attr.fontPath)
                            .build()
            );
    //....
}

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
    super.attachBaseContext(CalligraphyContextWrapper.wrap(newBase));
}
