TypefaceSpan

open class TypefaceSpan : MetricAffectingSpan, ParcelableSpan
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.text.style.CharacterStyle
   ↳ android.text.style.MetricAffectingSpan
   ↳ android.text.style.TypefaceSpan

Span that updates the typeface of the text it's attached to. The TypefaceSpan can be constructed either based on a font family or based on a Typeface. When TypefaceSpan(java.lang.String) is used, the previous style of the TextView is kept. When TypefaceSpan(android.graphics.Typeface) is used, the Typeface style replaces the TextView's style.

For example, let's consider a TextView with android:textStyle="italic" and a typeface created based on a font from resources, with a bold style. When applying a TypefaceSpan based the typeface, the text will only keep the bold style, overriding the TextView's textStyle. When applying a TypefaceSpan based on a font family: "monospace", the resulted text will keep the italic style.

Typeface myTypeface = Typeface.create(ResourcesCompat.getFont(context, R.font.acme),
  Typeface.BOLD);
  SpannableString string = new SpannableString("Text with typeface span.");
  string.setSpan(new TypefaceSpan(myTypeface), 10, 18, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
  string.setSpan(new TypefaceSpan("monospace"), 19, 22, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
  
Text with TypefaceSpans constructed based on a font from resource and from a font family.
