buildTypeface

public static Typeface buildTypeface (Context context, 
                CancellationSignal cancellationSignal, 
                FontInfo[] fonts)

Build a Typeface from an array of FontInfo Results that are marked as not ready will be skipped.

Parameters
context Context: A Context that will be used to fetch the font contents. This value cannot be null.

cancellationSignal CancellationSignal: A signal to cancel the operation in progress, or null if none. If the operation is canceled, then OperationCanceledException will be thrown. This value may be null.

fonts FontInfo: An array of FontInfo to be used to create a Typeface. This value cannot be null.

Returns
Typeface A Typeface object. Returns null if typeface creation fails.

fetchFonts

public static FontsContract.FontFamilyResult fetchFonts (Context context, 
                CancellationSignal cancellationSignal, 
                FontRequest request)

Fetch fonts given a font request.

Parameters
context Context: A Context to be used for fetching fonts. This value cannot be null.

cancellationSignal CancellationSignal: A signal to cancel the operation in progress, or null if none. If the operation is canceled, then OperationCanceledException will be thrown when the query is executed. This value may be null.

request FontRequest: A FontRequest object that identifies the provider and query for the request. This value cannot be null.

Returns
FontsContract.FontFamilyResult FontFamilyResult

Throws
PackageManager.NameNotFoundException If requested package or authority was not found in system.

requestFonts

public static void requestFonts (Context context, 
                FontRequest request, 
                Handler handler, 
                CancellationSignal cancellationSignal, 
                FontsContract.FontRequestCallback callback)

Create a typeface object given a font request. The font will be asynchronously fetched, therefore the result is delivered to the given callback. See FontRequest. Only one of the methods in callback will be invoked, depending on whether the request succeeds or fails. These calls will happen on the caller thread. Note that the result Typeface may be cached internally and the same instance will be returned the next time you call this method with the same request. If you want to bypass this cache, use fetchFonts(Context, CancellationSignal, FontRequest) and buildTypeface(Context, CancellationSignal, FontsContract.FontInfo[]) instead.

Parameters
context Context: A context to be used for fetching from font provider. This value cannot be null.

request FontRequest: A FontRequest object that identifies the provider and query for the request. May not be null. This value cannot be null.

handler Handler: A handler to be processed the font fetching. This value cannot be null.

cancellationSignal CancellationSignal: A signal to cancel the operation in progress, or null if none. If the operation is canceled, then OperationCanceledException will be thrown. This value may be null.

callback FontsContract.FontRequestCallback: A callback that will be triggered when results are obtained. May not be null. This value cannot be null.
