How to set font custom font to Spinner text programmatically?

This is what worked for me (using ideas both from CommonsWare's and gsanllorente's answers):

private static class MySpinnerAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {    // Initialise custom font, for example:    Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(),                        "fonts/Blambot.otf");    // (In reality I used a manager which caches the Typeface objects)    // Typeface font = FontManager.getInstance().getFont(getContext(), BLAMBOT);    private MySpinnerAdapter(Context context, int resource, List<String> items) {        super(context, resource, items);    }    // Affects default (closed) state of the spinner    @Override    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {        TextView view = (TextView) super.getView(position, convertView, parent);        view.setTypeface(font);        return view;    }    // Affects opened state of the spinner    @Override    public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {        TextView view = (TextView) super.getDropDownView(position, convertView, parent);        view.setTypeface(font);        return view;    }}

If you, like me, originally populated the Spinner using ArrayAdapter.createFromResource() and an array resource (as in Spinner documentation), then you'd use MySpinnerAdapter like this:

MySpinnerAdapter<String> adapter = new MySpinnerAdapter(        getContext(),        R.layout.view_spinner_item,        Arrays.asList(getResources().getStringArray(R.array.my_array)));spinner.setAdapter(adapter);

You would apply the font through your own custom SpinnerAdapter, in getView() and getDropDownView().

If you implement your Adapter in another file, you can access the "getAssets()" function from the constructor of the Adapter, as you have the Context as a parameter.

public class YourItemAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {int recurso;Typeface tf;public YourItemAdapter(Context _context, int _resource,        List<String> _items) {    super(_context, _resource, _items);    recurso=_resource;    tf=Typeface.createFromAsset(_context.getAssets(),"font/digital-7.ttf");}@Overridepublic View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {    //You can use the new tf here.    TextView spinner_text=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.text1);    spinner_text.setTypeface(tf);    }}
