Is there a way to give listview list items custom fonts? Either XML or via code.

[EndLessMind]

This is a simple example... create a folder in the root of your project
called assets/fonts/ then paste the TTF font file (in this case Verdana.ttf).
Then, if you want to apply that font to, say a TextView, do the following:

public class FontSampler extends Activity {
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
    super.onCreate(icicle);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.custom);
    Typeface face=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
                                          "fonts/Verdana.ttf");

    tv.setTypeface(face);
  }
}

Thanks for your reply, but I was wondering specifically for a ListView.

[EndLessMind]

Then i guess that you have a class that extends ArrayAdapter<> as the adapter.
The ListView items is a LinearLayout then a TextView, and if you make a custom item you can list use the
getView void in the extended ArrayAdapter<> and do almost the same as in my last post.

Should the ListView be parameters of the ArrayAdapter?

[EndLessMind]

No. The ArrayAdapter<> is a custom class that extends ArrayAdapter<> that you'll have to make.
It handles the function that you request.
The most basic way to use a ListView it to make a list, and then do something like:

** = new ArrayAdapter<String>(Context, item_Layout_as_int,your_list); 

But that will not work in this case. I'll give you a sample of what you need later.

Thanks again for the reply. Looking forward for this

This is a sample, it will not work if you just copy and paste it!
You'll need to create a custom item layout. You do this the same way to make any layout.
Create a XML and add the elements you want in your list. In this sample I just use a TextView

Then the Adapter will look something like this:

class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {

	private LayoutInflater inflator = null;
	private List<String> strings;
	private static class ViewHolder {
		public TextView title;
		
	}
    public CustomAdapter(Context context, int resource, List<String> strings) {
            super(context, resource, strings);
            this.strings= strings;
            inflator = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    	ViewHolder holder;
    	
    	if(convertView == null){
    		convertView = inflator.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
    		TextView TitleText = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.title);
    		holder = new ViewHolder();
    		holder.title = TitleText;
    		convertView.setTag(holder);
    		
    	} else {
    		holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
    	}
    	String text = strings.get(position);
    	holder.title.setText(text );
    	
    	
    	return convertView;
    	
    }
 
}

And then you use this type of adapter just like a regular one:

.. = new CustomAdapter(getBaseContext(), R.layout.YOU_ITEM_LAYOUT, strings);

Ok, I shall take a look into this on the weekend and post my progress results. Thanks again
