你可能想要创建一个包含所有字体的静态类。这样，您就不会多次创建字体，这可能会严重影响性能。 只要确保你在“assets”文件夹下创建了一个名为“fonts”的子文件夹。

你可以这样做:

public class CustomFontsLoader {

public static final int FONT_NAME_1 =   0;
public static final int FONT_NAME_2 =   1;
public static final int FONT_NAME_3 =   2;

private static final int NUM_OF_CUSTOM_FONTS = 3;

private static boolean fontsLoaded = false;

private static Typeface[] fonts = new Typeface[3];

private static String[] fontPath = {
    "fonts/FONT_NAME_1.ttf",
    "fonts/FONT_NAME_2.ttf",
    "fonts/FONT_NAME_3.ttf"
};


/**
 * Returns a loaded custom font based on it's identifier. 
 * 
 * @param context - the current context
 * @param fontIdentifier = the identifier of the requested font
 * 
 * @return Typeface object of the requested font.
 */
public static Typeface getTypeface(Context context, int fontIdentifier) {
    if (!fontsLoaded) {
        loadFonts(context);
    }
    return fonts[fontIdentifier];
}


private static void loadFonts(Context context) {
    for (int i = 0; i < NUM_OF_CUSTOM_FONTS; i++) {
        fonts[i] = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), fontPath[i]);
    }
    fontsLoaded = true;

}
}

通过这种方式，您可以从应用程序中的任何地方获取字体。

它有点老，但我改进了类CustomFontLoader一点点，我想分享它，所以它可以很有帮助。只需用这段代码创建一个新类。

 import android.content.Context;
 import android.graphics.Typeface;

public enum FontLoader {

ARIAL("arial"),
TIMES("times"),
VERDANA("verdana"),
TREBUCHET("trbuchet"),
GEORGIA("georgia"),
GENEVA("geneva"),
SANS("sans"),
COURIER("courier"),
TAHOMA("tahoma"),
LUCIDA("lucida");   


private final String name;
private Typeface typeFace;


private FontLoader(final String name) {
    this.name = name;

    typeFace=null;  
}

public static Typeface getTypeFace(Context context,String name){
    try {
        FontLoader item=FontLoader.valueOf(name.toUpperCase(Locale.getDefault()));
        if(item.typeFace==null){                
            item.typeFace=Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/"+item.name+".ttf");                 
        }           
        return item.typeFace;
    } catch (Exception e) {         
        return null;
    }                   
}
public static Typeface getTypeFace(Context context,int id){
    FontLoader myArray[]= FontLoader.values();
    if(!(id<myArray.length)){           
        return null;
    } 
    try {
        if(myArray[id].typeFace==null){     
            myArray[id].typeFace=Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/"+myArray[id].name+".ttf");                       
        }       
        return myArray[id].typeFace;    
    }catch (Exception e) {          
        return null;
    }   

}

public static Typeface getTypeFaceByName(Context context,String name){      
    for(FontLoader item: FontLoader.values()){              
        if(name.equalsIgnoreCase(item.name)){
            if(item.typeFace==null){
                try{
                    item.typeFace=Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/"+item.name+".ttf");     
                }catch (Exception e) {          
                    return null;
                }   
            }
            return item.typeFace;
        }               
    }
    return null;
}   

public static void loadAllFonts(Context context){       
    for(FontLoader item: FontLoader.values()){              
        if(item.typeFace==null){
            try{
                item.typeFace=Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/"+item.name+".ttf");     
            }catch (Exception e) {
                item.typeFace=null;
            }   
        }                
    }       
}   
}

然后使用这段代码在你的textview:

 Typeface typeFace=FontLoader.getTypeFace(context,"arial");  
 if(typeFace!=null) myTextView.setTypeface(typeFace);

你可能想要创建一个包含所有字体的静态类。这样，您就不会多次创建字体，这可能会严重影响性能。 只要确保你在“assets”文件夹下创建了一个名为“fonts”的子文件夹。

你可以这样做:

public class CustomFontsLoader {

public static final int FONT_NAME_1 =   0;
public static final int FONT_NAME_2 =   1;
public static final int FONT_NAME_3 =   2;

private static final int NUM_OF_CUSTOM_FONTS = 3;

private static boolean fontsLoaded = false;

private static Typeface[] fonts = new Typeface[3];

private static String[] fontPath = {
    "fonts/FONT_NAME_1.ttf",
    "fonts/FONT_NAME_2.ttf",
    "fonts/FONT_NAME_3.ttf"
};


/**
 * Returns a loaded custom font based on it's identifier. 
 * 
 * @param context - the current context
 * @param fontIdentifier = the identifier of the requested font
 * 
 * @return Typeface object of the requested font.
 */
public static Typeface getTypeface(Context context, int fontIdentifier) {
    if (!fontsLoaded) {
        loadFonts(context);
    }
    return fonts[fontIdentifier];
}


private static void loadFonts(Context context) {
    for (int i = 0; i < NUM_OF_CUSTOM_FONTS; i++) {
        fonts[i] = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), fontPath[i]);
    }
    fontsLoaded = true;

}
}

通过这种方式，您可以从应用程序中的任何地方获取字体。

import java.lang.ref.WeakReference;
import java.util.HashMap;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Typeface;

public class FontsManager {

    private static FontsManager instance;

    private static HashMap<String, WeakReference<Typeface>> typefaces = new HashMap<String, WeakReference<Typeface>>();

    private static Context context;

    private FontsManager(final Context ctx) {
        if (context == null) {
            context = ctx;
        }
    }

    public static FontsManager getInstance(final Context appContext) {
        if (instance == null) {
            instance = new FontsManager(appContext);
        }
        return instance;
    }

    public static FontsManager getInstance() {
        if (instance == null) {
            throw new RuntimeException(
                    "Call getInstance(Context context) at least once to init the singleton properly");
        }
        return instance;
    }

    public Typeface getFont(final String assetName) {
        final WeakReference<Typeface> tfReference = typefaces.get(assetName);
        if (tfReference == null || tfReference.get() == null) {
            final Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getResources().getAssets(),
                    assetName);
            typefaces.put(assetName, new WeakReference<Typeface>(tf));
            return tf;
        }
        return tfReference.get();
    }

}

通过这种方式，您可以创建一个继承自TextView的视图，并在其构造函数上调用setTypeface。

首先，默认不是Arial。默认为Droid Sans。

其次，要更改为不同的内置字体，请在布局XML中使用android:typeface或在Java中使用setTypeface()。

第三，Android中没有Helvetica字体。内置选项有Droid Sans (Sans)、Droid Sans Mono (monospace)和Droid Serif (Serif)。虽然您可以将自己的字体与应用程序捆绑在一起，并通过setTypeface()使用它们，但请记住，字体文件很大，在某些情况下需要许可协议(例如Helvetica，一种Linotype字体)。

EDIT

The Android design language relies on traditional typographic tools such as scale, space, rhythm, and alignment with an underlying grid. Successful deployment of these tools is essential to help users quickly understand a screen of information. To support such use of typography, Ice Cream Sandwich introduced a new type family named Roboto, created specifically for the requirements of UI and high-resolution screens. The current TextView framework offers Roboto in thin, light, regular and bold weights, along with an italic style for each weight. The framework also offers the Roboto Condensed variant in regular and bold weights, along with an italic style for each weight.

ICS之后，android包含了Roboto字体样式， 阅读更多Roboto

随着支持库26的出现，Android现在支持自定义字体 违约。您可以在res/fonts中插入新的字体，这些字体可以单独以XML或编程方式设置为TextViews。整个应用程序的默认字体也可以通过定义它styles.xml来改变，android开发者文档对此有明确的指导

最佳实践是使用Android支持库26.0.0或更高版本。

步骤1:添加字体文件

在res文件夹中创建新的字体资源字典 添加字体文件(.ttf， .orf)

例如，当字体文件为helvetica_neue.ttf时，将生成R.font.helvetica_neue

步骤2:创建字体族

在字体文件夹中添加新的资源文件 在元素中包含每个字体文件、样式和权重属性。

例如:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<font-family xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <font
        android:fontStyle="normal"
        android:fontWeight="400"
        android:font="@font/helvetica_neue" />
</font-family>

第三步:使用它

在xml布局中:

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:fontFamily="@font/my_font"/>

或添加字体样式:

<style name="customfontstyle" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Small">
    <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/lobster</item>
</style>
