Android custom fonts - for system components like Actionbar, Toast, Dialogs

Question

I am working on application translated to languages that are not supported - missing fonts on devices. So I added fonts to application and changed typeface for all TextViews

Answer 1

1. for actionbar:

use actionbar sherlock (http://actionbarsherlock.com/) and customize its code:

in com.actionbarsherlock.app.Actionbar add these two abstract methods:

public abstract void setTitleTypeface(Typeface TF);
public abstract void setSubtitleTypeface(Typeface TF);

and override these methods in com.actionbarsherlock.internal.app.ActionBarImpl

@Override
public void setTitleTypeface(Typeface TF) {
    mActionView.setTitleTypeface(TF);     }

@Override
public void setSubtitleTypeface(Typeface TF) {
    mActionView.setSubtitleTypeface(TF);    }

and also in com.actionbarsherlock.internal.app.ActionBarWrapper like this

@Override
public void setTitleTypeface(Typeface TF) {}
@Override
public void setSubtitleTypeface(Typeface TF) {}

and finally in com.actionbarsherlock.internal.widget.ActionBarView add these methods:

 public void setTitleTypeface(Typeface TF){
    mTitleView.setTypeface(TF);
}

public void setSubtitleTypeface(Typeface TF){
    mSubtitleView.setTypeface(TF);
}

and now use it in your SherlockActivity like this:

    Typeface TF = Typeface.createFromAsset(getApplication().getAssets(),
                "Arial.ttf");
    getSupportActionBar().setTitleTypeface(TF);

Make Sure there is no better way!!!

2. for dialogs, system settings,... u should change code like this!
