[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/workarounds/typography.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/workarounds/typography)

#### Add to your project ####

Add this line to your dependencies in `build.gradle`

```

compile 'in.workarounds.typography:typography:0.0.8'

```

#### Using the views ####

There are two important attributes that define a font

+ `font_name` Ex: 'Roboto', 'Helvetica'

+ `font_variant` Ex: 'Bold', 'Condensed'

So if you want to add a TextView with the font 'Roboto-Condensed', you add the following to your layout file

``` xml

```

You can utilize the following views to improve the typography in your app:

`in.workarounds.typography.`

+ TextView

+ EditText

+ AutoCompleteTextView

+ Button

+ Checkbox

+ RadioButton

+ ToggleButton

#### Font Files ####

Place your fonts in `assets/fonts/` folder and use the following naming convention

```

`-.`

```

`` can be `ttf` or `otf`. Both `font_name` and `font_variant` attribute are **case insensitive**.

Note: If you want to use `Roboto.ttf`, do not use the `font_variant` attribute.

#### FontLoader ####

`FontLoader` is the class responsible for caching the `Typeface`s and setting the fonts to the Views. 

Set the default font name and font variant in your Application class

> `FontLoader.setDefaultFont(fontName, fontVariant)`

Enable detailed logs(errors are always logged)

> `FontLoader.setLoggingEnabled(true)`
