Typeface

BOLD

int BOLD

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

BOLD_ITALIC

int BOLD_ITALIC

Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)

ITALIC

int ITALIC

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

NORMAL

int NORMAL

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

DEFAULT

Typeface DEFAULT

The default NORMAL typeface object

DEFAULT_BOLD

Typeface DEFAULT_BOLD

The default BOLD typeface object. Note: this may be not actually be bold, depending on what fonts are installed. Call getStyle() to know for sure.

MONOSPACE

Typeface MONOSPACE

The NORMAL style of the default monospace typeface.

SANS_SERIF

Typeface SANS_SERIF

The NORMAL style of the default sans serif typeface.

SERIF

Typeface SERIF

The NORMAL style of the default serif typeface.

create

Typeface create (Typeface family, 
                int style)

Create a typeface object that best matches the specified existing typeface and the specified Style. Use this call if you want to pick a new style from the same family of an existing typeface object. If family is null, this selects from the default font's family.

create

Typeface create (String familyName, 
                int style)

Create a typeface object given a family name, and option style information. If null is passed for the name, then the "default" font will be chosen. The resulting typeface object can be queried (getStyle()) to discover what its "real" style characteristics are.

createFromAsset

Typeface createFromAsset (AssetManager mgr, 
                String path)

Create a new typeface from the specified font data.

createFromFile

Typeface createFromFile (File path)

Create a new typeface from the specified font file.

createFromFile

Typeface createFromFile (String path)

Create a new typeface from the specified font file.

defaultFromStyle

Typeface defaultFromStyle (int style)

Returns one of the default typeface objects, based on the specified style

equals

boolean equals (Object o)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

• It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
• It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
• It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
• It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
• For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

The equals method for class Object implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any non-null reference values x and y, this method returns true if and only if x and y refer to the same object (x == y has the value true).

Note that it is generally necessary to override the hashCode method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the general contract for the hashCode method, which states that equal objects must have equal hash codes.

getStyle

int getStyle ()

Returns the typeface's intrinsic style attributes

hashCode

int hashCode ()

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

• Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
• If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
• It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the Java™ programming language.)

isBold

boolean isBold ()

Returns true if getStyle() has the BOLD bit set.

isItalic

boolean isItalic ()

Returns true if getStyle() has the ITALIC bit set.

finalize

void finalize ()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of system resources or to perform other cleanup.

The general contract of finalize is that it is invoked if and when the Java™ virtual machine has determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be finalized. The finalize method may take any action, including making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose of finalize, however, is to perform cleanup actions before the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is permanently discarded.

The finalize method of class Object performs no special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of Object may override this definition.

The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will invoke the finalize method for any given object. It is guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method, the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.

After the finalize method has been invoked for an object, no further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized, at which point the object may be discarded.

The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java virtual machine for any given object.

Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise ignored.
