set custom font through xml

Question

how can i set a font, whose ttf resides in my assets folder through xml? I know how to do that programmatically but how can you do that via xml? Thanks in adva

Answer 1

If you create your own TextView derivation, you could add an XML-attribute that the class handles the programmatical way. That way, you specify a certain font and it'll be set runtime, but you do it via XML. :)

Otherwise, there's no known way to achieve the requested behaviour.
