native typeface cannot be made

[ayalma]

i faced with this issue in android api 17 when i want to use emojione.ttf as custom font .

@ayalma where are you storing the .tff? This sounds like it could be a build issue either related to asset location or, less likely, an issue with system memory.

İ pasted font in asset/fonts folder

This not the real problem, I think. cuz my app worked in api23 emulator and api19 tablet but in api17 huawei g730 don't worked On May 17, 2016 7:54 PM, "Casey A Henson" notifications@github.com wrote:

While I'm looking into this, can you let me know a couple of things which will help in my debugging? I apologize if they're over simplistic: 1.) Are you calling setTypeface before or after calling setContentView? 2.) Are you still getting the error after cleaning and rebuilding the project? 3.) Can you show me the line where you're defining your font? Thanks!

No mind. 1) I'm using typeface in android RecyclerView in adapter class in onBindViewHolder method.

 @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(EmojiItemHolder holder, int position) {

        Typeface myTypeface = TypefaceUtil.getTypeFace(holder.itemView.getContext(), "emojione.ttf");

        if (myTypeface!=null)holder.etv.setTypeface(myTypeface);
        holder.etv.setText(Util.getEmijoByUnicode(start+position));
    }

2 ) yes i do clean and rebuild. 3) I created the util class for that. with this code.

public class TypefaceUtil {

    private static HashMap<String,Typeface> fontCache;

    static {
        fontCache = new HashMap<>();
    }

    public static Typeface getTypeFace(Context context,String path)
    {
        Typeface tf = fontCache.get(path);
        if (tf == null)
        {
            try {
                tf =  Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),path);
                fontCache.put(path,tf);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                  //
            }
        }
        return tf;
    }
}

This not the real problem, I think. cuz my app worked in api23 emulator and api19 tablet but in api17 huawei g730 don't worked

Could this be an issue with the versions of freetype in the different environments? Color font support in freetype is relatively new; maybe the freetype lib in the api17 device is too old to include it. IIUC, api17 is JellyBean, but color font support first shipped in KitKat....

So what can i do with that? On May 31, 2016 2:27 PM, "jfkthame" notifications@github.com wrote:

If my guess as to the problem is correct (you might want to check what version of FreeType you've got; it looks like at least FreeType 2.5 is required for color bitmap support), then there would appear to be two main options:

(a) update to Android KitKat or later (i.e. a version with color-font support); or

(b) forget about using the system text rendering (at least for the emoji characters) and implement your own code to render the glyphs you want.

@ayalma Have you had any luck getting this resolved?

FWIW Signal uses it's own emoji rendering system to avoid this issue: https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Android Note the GPLv3 license, if your project isn't GPLv3 don't look at the code. Haha! 😉

I have the same issue and it looks like only Android 6 upgraded freetype to a version that supports color emoji. More details here.

So it looks to me that this is unfortunately an issue that can not be solved within the scope of emojione.
