Any way to setTypeFace from url for a Textview?

问题

I want to setTypeFace from url like : https://github.com/anak10thn/frontend-homepage/raw/master/font/helvetica-regular.otf

Do you know if there any way ?

I tried this :

                Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromFile("https://github.com/anak10thn/frontend-homepage/raw/master/font/helvetica-regular.otf");

            tv.setTypeface(tf);

It doesn't work.

I have this error :

Hi You can not directly add the URL of font in Typeface. If you want to dynamically use the font in your application, the best option is application would download fist font in local device. Then define the path of font in to the Typeface.

Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromFile(
    new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "font.ttf"));

I dont believe you can actually. The custom typeface is usually kept as a system resource file, and not referred to as a web document. As far as i know, the best method would most likely be: Create a fonts folder in your assets folder. Download the font you desire and place it in the fonts folder, and then in the code refer back to your fonts folder.
