To use a Font
object in Java, you need to perform the following steps:
Create a Font
object by calling the Font
constructor and passing in the following parameters:
The font name, such as Arial
, Helvetica
, or Times New Roman
.
The font style, such as PLAIN
, BOLD
, ITALIC
, or a combination of these constants.
The font size, specified as an integer value in points.
Set the font of a Component
, such as a JLabel
or a JButton
, by calling the setFont
method of the Component
class and passing in the Font
object as a parameter.
Here is an example of how to use a Font
object in Java:
// Create a Font object. Font font = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 18); // Set the font of a JLabel. JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello, World!"); label.setFont(font); // Set the font of a JButton. JButton button = new JButton("Click me"); button.setFont(font);
In this example, the Font
object is created using the Arial
font, the BOLD
style, and a size of 18 points. The Font
object is then set as the font of a JLabel
and a JButton
using the setFont
method.
You can use this approach to use a Font
object in Java to set the font of a Component
. You can also customize this approach by using different font names, styles, and sizes, or by using other Component
classes, such as a JTextField
or a JTextArea
.
Note that the Font
class is part of the java.awt
package, which is not available on Android. To set the font of a View
in an Android app, you can use the setTypeface
method of the TextView
class or the getTypeface
method of the Paint
class.
