Android Question Load Font From Device?

[treehousefrog]

Hey guys,

I'm building a launcher and I want to give the user the option to add their own fonts. Unfortunately the only option I can find is typeface.loadfromassets... is there a way I can load the fonts from rootexternal? Or is there another way I should be doing this? Thanks a ton in advance!

The only way I can see it doable is, after the user choses the font from its current folder, copy it to the assets folder. I also recal a thread about loading fonts from other than the assets and it was done using refletion.

Sorry not to of much help, but it can be done...

You cannot copy to the Assets folder that folder is read only (part of the APK).

Here is the thread

(I tested it and it didn't work for me, but I assume was doing something wrong)
