changing the font of textview

Question

I have a ListView, all i want to do is to change the font. i already downloaded my font to the assets/fonts folder.

if i understand right, i supposed to rewrite the adapter..

here is my code:

onCreate....


Typeface font1 = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/english.ttf");
font1 = Typeface.create(font1, Typeface.BOLD);

TextView customText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.ListTextView);
customText.setTypeface(font1);



    HashMap<String,String> contentItem = new HashMap<String,String>()
            {
                {
                put(NAME_FIELD,"dudi");                 
                }
            };              
            content.add(contentItem);



            SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this,
            content,  
            R.layout.show_the_list,   
            new String[]{NAME_FIELD},
            new int[]{R.id.ListTextView}   );




            ListView list1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);

            list1.setAdapter(adapter);

the xml file:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/ListTextView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="40dip"
    android:textColor="@color/White" >
</TextView>

if someone can show me the code that i need to add or change, it will be great! thanks.

Actually, when you are use R.id.ListTextView as a parameter in SimpleAdapter then its directly accessed by Adapter to create View so it is every time new not what you have defined in onCreate() of Activity, So either using Custom TextView and adding font typeface to it in XML and then use it as argument in SimpleAdapter or Write CustomAdapter and in getView() of it re-define TextView using View inflater and set font typeface in this method..

Actually as I seen you as a beginner so its complex you for creating custom TExtView and adding typeface to in xml. So instead better to write a CustomAdapter and set TypeFace to TextView in getView() of it.
