I need to display a timer, and I need the style of numbers to be like many hours. Like this

alt text

So, is it possible to set a similar style to numbers using Android tools? Or only if you prepare and draw the images for each digit yourself?

    1. Find the right font on the Internet (enough sites)

    2. Create the assets / fonts folder and put them there in ttf format

      Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/myFont.ttf");

    3. Apply

       TextView.setTypeface()

      I think it will be much faster and easier to draw these numbers in Photoshop (any other favorite editor). Only 10 digits and a colon. (although it is better to draw a colon on a substrate - that is, 10 digits and a substrate). This will give the advantage that in the future you can simply add two pictures (numbers can be drawn on one picture) and get a new style.

      Moreover, using the built-in drawable (shape) tools, it is possible to build all these figures of figures on the basis of xml - they will scale well and colorize.
