android setting password type with custom font

Question

I have used this code to set textType = password.

mInputText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);

I however it ruins my custom font for the editText.

How can I combine them both?

just set the type after setting the flags

public void setPasswordTextType() {
    mInputText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
    mInputText.setTypeface(MY_TYPE);
}

use android:inputType="textPassword" Ex:

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/et_password"
        android:layout_width="170dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:inputType="textPassword"
        android:password="true"
        android:textSize="18sp" >

    </EditText>
