Calligraphy does not work with NavigationView

[ghatasheh]

I tried to change it using Calligraphy configs but didn't work CalligraphyConfig.initDefault(new CalligraphyConfig.Builder() .setDefaultFontPath("fonts/Roboto-RobotoRegular.ttf") .setFontAttrId(R.attr.fontPath) .build());

Also, I tried to get the menu from the NavigationView navigationView.getMenu() and use CalligraphyTypefaceSpan to set the title with no luck!

Is there anyway to achieve that?

Thanks in advance

I think the NavigationView isn't a textview. and doesn't inflate it's children.

Need to nudge Goog to make there support lib stuff use the LayoutInflater.

I like this library a lot. And it works great. But can't get the right fonts in the NavigationView either.

I made a small app, to show that it isn't working. Items in a NavigationView are inflated and CalligraphyContextWrapper is used, but somehow the font isn't changed.

@chrisjenx any clue what is happening here?

I'm getting the fontPath value res/drawable/list_selected_background.xml in https://github.com/chrisjenx/Calligraphy/blob/master/calligraphy/src/main/java/uk/co/chrisjenx/calligraphy/CalligraphyFactory.java#L192

When the NavigationMenuPresenter is inflating his Views

[chrisjenx]

Guessing there could be a resource conflict, never seen this before. :/

It would be great if you have a solution for this... Need this one for the project I'm working on. If I can help please let me know. A work around is also an option.

Debugging it many times today with my larger Android project, and isolated it to this small project.

[chrisjenx]

OK thanks for isolating, that helps. Have you tried the snapshot?

Thanks

[ajdevries]

Yes. You can see it in the build file. https://github.com/ajdevries/android-navigation/blob/master/app/build.gradle#L26

I have custom font with calligraphy working a-ok with <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView /> I wonder if there's an issue with app:itemTextAppearance="@style/AppTheme.NavigationView"? I am not using that, instead app:itemTextColor="@color/textColorBright". I've found with other android.support.design views the TextAppearance screws things up.

[ajdevries]

Okay... And can you tell me how you changed the type face in the NavigationView?

[scottyab]

@ajdevries Sorry i wasn't clear. By using the default config.

init CalligraphyConfig in Application object

CalligraphyConfig.initDefault(new CalligraphyConfig.Builder()
                .setDefaultFontPath(getString(R.string.font_path_regular))
                .setFontAttrId(R.attr.fontPath)
                .build());

And attaching base context in activity

 @Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
        super.attachBaseContext(CalligraphyContextWrapper.wrap(newBase));
    }

[ajdevries]

Hmm, yeah. Maybe that is an solution, but for my current project difficult, because I'm using different fonts. When there is time I'll have a look what is happening here.

[ghatasheh]

Hi @chrisjenx its CheckedTextView, and inflated from xml file. There is no workarounds in the code.

[ghatasheh]

This is my workaround for now;

public class TypefaceSpan extends MetricAffectingSpan {
  private final Typeface typeface;

  public TypefaceSpan(Typeface typeface) {
    this.typeface = typeface;
  }

  private static void apply(Paint paint, Typeface typeface) {
    paint.setTypeface(typeface);
  }

  @Override
  public void updateDrawState(TextPaint textPaint) {
    apply(textPaint, typeface);
  }

  @Override
  public void updateMeasureState(TextPaint textPaint) {
    apply(textPaint, typeface);
  }
}

private void changeFont() {
    Menu menu = navigationView.getMenu();
    Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(activity.getAssets(), "fonts/customFont.ttf");

    for (int i = 0; i < menu.size(); i++) {
        MenuItem menuItem = menu.getItem(i);

            if (menuItem != null) {
            SpannableString spannableString = new SpannableString(menuItem.getTitle());
            spannableString.setSpan(new TypefaceSpan(typeface), 0, spannableString.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

            menuItem.setTitle(spannableString);
        }
    }
}

[chrisjenx]

You know there is already a typeface span in Calligraphy?

Extending the NavigationView and wrapping it's context on the constructor, I've managed to change the font only on the menu itens that DON'T have a image.

On RED, the wrong font, on GREEN, the right one

here's the menu.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/nav_account"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_navigationdrawer_account"
        android:title="Account" />
    <item android:title="HARDWARE">
        <menu>
            <item
                android:id="@+id/nav_connect"
                android:icon="@drawable/ic_navigationdrawer_connect_hardware"
                android:title="Connect Hardware" />
            <item
                android:id="@+id/nav_calibrate"
                android:icon="@drawable/ic_navigationdrawer_calibrate_beta_monitor"
                android:title="Calibrate Beta Monitor" />
        </menu>
    </item>
</menu>

Manage to get it working with the changeFont method posted by @ghatasheh, but I've used the CalligraphyTypefaceSpan instead of the custom TypefaceSpan. But it's a workarround

[taylors1512]

Thanks for this; it has been taxing me all day. I used the Calligraphy Typeface Span also. I iterate through the drawer menu items and send them to this method below. (Sorry, haven't worked out how to indent code in these forums yet)

private void applyFontToMenuItem(MenuItem mi) { Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/TeXGyreAdventor-Bold.ttf"); SpannableString fontableTitle = new SpannableString(mi.getTitle()); fontableTitle.setSpan(new CalligraphyTypefaceSpan(font), 0, fontableTitle.length(), Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE); mi.setTitle(fontableTitle); }

[jzeferino]

as said bay @scottyab after use the app:itemTextAppearance="@style/AppTheme.NavigationView" the font went do default android value. I tried the SpannableString but didn't work. Any workaround?

[chrisjenx]

Scotty also put a work around on here. Does that not work?

[jzeferino]

@chrisjenx what @scottyab said is that when using the app:itemTextAppearance="@style/AppTheme.NavigationView" the font DON'T use the calligraphy font. It uses the default. In my case I need to use the app:itemTextAppearance.

[jzeferino]

I ended-up hacking the drawer menu to force the font when the DrawerStateChanged: See the source code here:

https://gist.github.com/jzeferino/797c5e6b72c666b6f87969f6146a2a6e

[marlonlom]

@jzeferino Great tip! But, i realized that when the activity is resumed or when configuration changes, it uses the default font. In that case, it work when close and reopen the navigationview (eg. when the app is restarted or something related to configuration change while nav-view its opened).

Finally, i ended up using this approach:

(1) in strings.xml:

    <style name="AppTheme.NavigationView">
        <item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
        <item name="fontPath">fonts/Custom-font.ttf</item>
    </style>

(2) in activity_home.xml:

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/home_navigation_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NavigationView"
        app:menu="@menu/menu_drawer" />
