## AnyTextView (deprecated)
[](http://android-arsenal.com/details/1/472)
> Note: AnyTextView is no longer being maintained. I recommend replacing AnyTextView with the [Calligraphy library](https://github.com/chrisjenx/Calligraphy) instead.
Frustration arise the moment you realise that you cannot set a custom font on TextView, EditText and Button views using the ```android:typeface``` XML-attribute. AnyTextView is here to relieve your pain.
### Setup
If you're using Gradle (recommended), add the following to your build.gradle file:
```javascript
dependencies {
compile 'com.ctrlplusz.anytextview:library:1.2'
}
```
If you're using Maven, add the following to your pom.xml file:
```xml
com.ctrlplusz.anytextview
library
1.2
aar
```
Alternatively, [download the .aar][1] and reference it from your project.
### How to use:
1) Copy the fonts you want to use into the _assets/fonts_ folder of your project
2) Add your application namespace to the root element in the XML file that is to contain AnyTextView's, e.g
```xml
```
3) Instead of using
```xml
```
use
```xml
```
4) Profit!
