Setting font in Android custom ListView

Question

I use a custom Layout for displaying my ListView Items. But when I try to set font at RunTime app crashes. First I tried to access the Texviews of the layout in onCreate... seeing that it wont work, I looked for answers online and found out that I should be doing the setting in my custom Adapter. I tried that too, same result.

My adapter looks like this:

public class VizitaAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Vizita>{
    Context context;
    int layoutResourceId;   
    Typeface fontux = null;

  public VizitaAdapter(Context context, int layoutResourceId, Vizita[] data) {
        super(context, layoutResourceId, data);
        this.layoutResourceId = layoutResourceId;
        this.context = context;
        this.data = data;
        fontux = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/myrprocond.otf"); 
    }


 @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View row = convertView;
        WeatherHolder holder = null;
 ...
 ...
        ((TextView)row).setTypeface(fontux);
        return row;
 }

So when my activity should start, I receive an error message that crashes the app. Before this, the app worked fine. What am I doing wrong? I should be able to set different textViews to different TypeFaces. That is actually what I need. But I cannot even set all textViews at once...

Please help. Thank you

I have no idea how to format the log to look more readable :(

Also I changed the Code above to reflect the latest try (which also gave me this error)

Answer 1

Please, attach log. Most likely you have an NullPointerException on this line:

Typeface face=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/yourfont.ttf"); 
((TextView)row).setTypeface(face);

convertView may be null and you should create a new one in this case or call the method getView of the super class(link)
