Android Help with Changing Button Font Type, How?

Button IS-A TextView, so just do it as with a TextView:

Button txt = (Button) findViewById(R.id.custom_font);  Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "1543Humane_jenson_bold.TTF");  txt.setTypeface(font);

I use like this for button and it worked (same as for TextView) ..

 Button enter=(Button) findViewById(R.id.enter); Typeface type=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "arial.ttf"); enter.setTypeface(type);

hope it helps...

If you plan to add the same font to several buttons I suggest that you go all the way and implement it as a style and subclass button:

public class ButtonPlus extends Button {    public ButtonPlus(Context context) {        super(context);    }    public ButtonPlus(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {        super(context, attrs);        CustomFontHelper.setCustomFont(this, context, attrs);    }    public ButtonPlus(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {        super(context, attrs, defStyle);        CustomFontHelper.setCustomFont(this, context, attrs);    }}

This is a helper class to set a font on a TextView (remember, Button is a subclass of TextView) based on the com.my.package:font attribute:

public class CustomFontHelper {    /**     * Sets a font on a textview based on the custom com.my.package:font attribute     * If the custom font attribute isn't found in the attributes nothing happens     * @param textview     * @param context     * @param attrs     */    public static void setCustomFont(TextView textview, Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {        TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.CustomFont);        String font = a.getString(R.styleable.CustomFont_font);        setCustomFont(textview, font, context);        a.recycle();    }    /**     * Sets a font on a textview     * @param textview     * @param font     * @param context     */    public static void setCustomFont(TextView textview, String font, Context context) {        if(font == null) {            return;        }        Typeface tf = FontCache.get(font, context);        if(tf != null) {            textview.setTypeface(tf);        }    } }

And here's the FontCache to reduce memory usage on older devices:

public class FontCache {    private static Hashtable<String, Typeface> fontCache = new Hashtable<String, Typeface>();    public static Typeface get(String name, Context context) {        Typeface tf = fontCache.get(name);        if(tf == null) {            try {                tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), name);            }            catch (Exception e) {                return null;            }            fontCache.put(name, tf);        }        return tf;    }}

In res/values/attrs.xml we define the custom styleable attribute

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><resources>    <declare-styleable name="CustomFont">        <attr name="font" format="string"/>    </declare-styleable></resources>

And finally an example use in a layout:

<com.my.package.buttons.ButtonPlus    style="@style/button"    android:layout_width="wrap_content"    android:layout_height="wrap_content"    android:text="@string/button_sometext"/>

And in res/values/style.xml

<style name="button" parent="@android:style/Widget.Button">    <item name="com.my.package:font">fonts/copperplate_gothic_light.TTF</item></style>

This may seem like an awful lot of work, but you'll thank me once you have couple of handfuls of buttons and textfields that you want to change font on.
