Android O: Fonts – Part 1 | Working with custom font Android O | Custom font | Fonts in XML

Hello Friends,
              Android 8.0 (API level 26) introduces a new feature, Fonts in XML, which lets you use fonts as resources. You can add the font file in the res/font/ folder to bundle fonts as resources. These fonts are compiled in your R file and are automatically available in Android Studio. You can access the font resources with the help of a new resource type, font. For example, to access a font resource, use @font/myfont, or R.font.myfont.

To use the Fonts in XML feature on devices running Android API version 14 and higher, use the Support Library 26. For more information on using the support library, refer to the Using the support library section.

Steps

  • To add fonts as resources, perform the following steps in the Android Studio

    • Right-click the res folder and go to New > Android resource directory       
    • The New Resource Directory window appears.


    • In the Resource type list, select font, and then click OK.






      Note: The name of the resource directory must be font.

  • Using fonts in XML layouts 
    • In the layout XML file, set the font Family attribute to the font file you want to access.

    Hope this will help some one.
    Enjoy coding..................  ;)

Android Firebase | Android Push Notifications using Firebase Cloud Messaging FCM

Hello Friends,
               Google moved from Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). Just like GCM, FCM is a cross-platform messaging solution that allows you to send messages. FCM is completely free and there are no limitations.

  • Firebase Message types : Using FCM you can send three types of messages i.e:
    • Notification Message
    • Data Message
    • both Notification & Data Payload


  • Integrating Firebase Cloud Messaging 
    • First thing you need to do is go to https://firebase.google.com/ and make an account to gain access to their console. After you gain access to the console you can start by creating your first project.
    • Give the package name of your project in which you are going to integrate the Firebase. Here the google-services.json file will be downloaded when you press add app button.
