How to use custom buttons?

Question

I would like to know how to put buttons more "attractive" (edit your aesthetic) in the app and also how to add fonts?

Answer 1

To modify the source of a Textview for example: you must first add it to your project in android studio, as follows...

1º => Create the Assets folder in app/src/main/Assets... If you have difficulty locating, change the view of your project:

2º => copy the source (.otf or .ttf) you want to that Assets folder you created.

3º => in your Activity code state the source as follows (in the example I used the source orange_juice):

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "orange_juice.ttf");

(if your source is . otf, then put . otf)

For the source to be effected in a Checkbox or Textview just do the following:

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "orange_juice.ttf");

CheckBox checkBox = (CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.checkBox);
TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);

checkBox.setTypeface(font);
textView.setTypeface(font);

(remember to first add them to the layout)

To change the appearance of a button (if that’s what I understand), just do the following:

1º => add the image you want to the Drawables folder.

2º => in the button properties, select the background tab:

3º => select the desired image (in my case Lamp):
