View inflate Exception error while writing code for custom font in textview in my application

Question

i am using following class for custom font for my textview. import android.content.Context; import android.graphics.Typeface; import android.util.AttributeSet; import android.widget.TextView;

public class MyTextView extends TextView{

    public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        init();
    }

    public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init();
    }

    public MyTextView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        init();
    }

    private void init() {
        Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(),
                                               "DIEHLD_DECO.ttf");
        setTypeface(tf);
    }

}

this the xml file containing my textView

<com.example.application1.views.MyTextView 
        android:textSize="27.0sp" 
        android:textColor="@android:color/white" 
        android:gravity="top" 
        android:layout_gravity="center" 
        android:id="@+id/tname" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        />

while running the app my logcat shows following error.

have you directly put your custom font file in assert or put on fonts folder inside assert ? — Haresh Chhelana, Oct 31 '14 at 11:53

Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem.

You have required to your current context reference instead of getContext() so just pass your context reference to intit method from all constructor.

public class MyTextView extends TextView{


    public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        init(context);
    }

    public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init(context);
    }

    public MyTextView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        init(context);
    }

    private void init(Context context) {
        Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),"DIEHLD_DECO.ttf");
        setTypeface(tf);
    }

}
