MagicViews
==========
[](https://maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/com.ivankocijan/MagicViews)
Provides a simple way to set custom font in Android application.
## Adding to your project
1) Add the library as a dependency to your ```build.gradle```
```groovy
compile 'com.ivankocijan:MagicViews:version@aar'
```
2) Specify path to fonts folder in onCreate method of your Application class (See example app).
```java
public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
MagicViews.setFontFolderPath(this, "fontFolderPath");
}
}
```
## Usage from layout
1) Add your application namespace to the root element in the XML
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
2) Instead of TextView use com.ivankocijan.magicviews.views.MagicTextView
```xml
```
For a complete list of features and how to use them see [wiki page](https://github.com/ikocijan/MagicViews/wiki).

You might encounter this issue after updating: /build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.android.support/appcompat-v7/23.0.1/res/values-v23/values-v23.xml
There are two options to fix that:
Exclude appcompact-v7 from MagicViews library:
```groovy
compile('com.ivankocijan:MagicViews:3.1.0@aar') {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat-v7'
}
```
or Compile your app with Android SDK 23:
```groovy
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
}
```
V3.0
* Library now uses new AppCompat views which backport some cool stuff to pre-lollipop devices. See [Android developer blogspot](http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2015/04/android-support-library-221.html) for more info
* Added new views: RadioButton, AutoCompleteTextView and MultiAutoCompleteTextView
* Font can now be set from code by calling setFont(String fontName) method
* Example app is updated with new features
* Bugfixes
