Take different typeface from a ttc Android

Question

in my application I must use a custom type of font in a file .ttc . This file conteins different type of typeface (normal, bold, ...). With this code:

textDetails.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/font.ttc"));

I can take one type of typeface. There is a method to take all the typeface?

I would not be surprised if Android does not support TrueType Collection (TTC) files. — CommonsWare, Jul 11 '13 at 13:16
If I try to use a ttc the program take and use correctly one type of font — hasmet, Jul 11 '13 at 13:18
Sorry, let me rephrase: I would not be surprised if Android does not *fully* support TrueType Collection (TTC) files. — CommonsWare, Jul 11 '13 at 13:24
It is possible to extract ttf from ttc with tools like https://transfonter.org/ttc-unpack — Jacques Giraudel, Nov 20 '17 at 11:01

You can set the style to access the bold and italic typefaces:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#setTypeface(android.graphics.Typeface, int)

Try this:

textDetails.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/font.ttc"), Typeface.BOLD);

You can load specific font from TTC file using Typeface.Builder (API level 26). This is a snippet from comments in the Typeface source code:

Typeface.Builder buidler = new Typeface.Builder(getAssets(), "your_font_file.ttc");
builder.setTtcIndex(2);  // Set index of font collection.
Typeface typeface = builder.build();

Only use setTtcIndex() method if you know the file is TTC.
