Hebrew Font For Android

Text is a central piece of any UI, and Jetpack Compose makes it easier todisplay or write text. Compose leverages composition of its building blocks,meaning you don’t need to overwrite properties and methods or extend big classesto have a specific composable design and logic working the way you want.

Normally, Hebrew works in Right-To-Left format. When I set a text, it sets the text Right-To-Left format in LG, Samsung, Sony Phone but in HTC it.

As its base, Compose provides a BasicText and BasicTextField which are thebarebones to display text and handle user input. At a higher level, Composeprovides Text and TextField, which are composables following Material Designguidelines. It’s recommended to use them as they have the right look and feelfor users on Android, and includes other options to simplify their customizationwithout having to write a lot of code.

Displaying text

The most basic way to display text is to use the Text composable with aString as an argument:

Display text from resource

We recommend you use string resources instead of hardcoding Text values, asyou can share the same strings with your Android Views as well as preparing yourapp for internationalization:

Styling text

The Text composable has multiple optional parameters to style its content.Below, we’ve listed parameters that cover most common use cases with text. Tosee all the parameters of Text, we recommend you to look at the Compose Textsourcecode.

Whenever you set one of these parameters, you’re applying the style to the wholetext value. If you need to apply multiple styles within the same line orparagraphs, have a look at the section on multiple inlinestyles.

Text alignments

The textAlign parameter allows to set the alignment of the text within aText composable surface area.

By default, Text will select the natural text alignment depending on itscontent value:

  • Left edge of the Text container for left-to-right alphabets such asLatin, Cyrillic, or Hangul
  • Right edge of the Text container for right-to-left alphabets such asArabic or Hebrew

If you want to set manually the text alignment of a Text composable, preferusing TextAlign.Start and TextAlign.End instead of TextAlign.Left andTextAlign.Right respectively, as they resolve to the right edge of the Textcomposable depending on the preferred language text orientation. For example,TextAlign.End aligns to the right side for French text and to the left sidefor Arabic text, but TextAlign.Right aligns to the right side no matter whatalphabet is used.

Note: Text alignment is different from layout alignment, which is aboutpositioning a Composable within a container such as a Row or Column. Checkout the Compose layout basics documentationto read more about it.

Working with fonts

Text has a fontFamily parameter to allow setting the font used in thecomposable. By default, serif, sans-serif, monospace and cursive font familiesare included:

You can use the fontFamily attribute to work with custom fonts and typefacesdefined in res/fonts folder:

This example shows how you would define a fontFamily based on those fontfiles:

Finally, you can pass this fontFamily to your Text composable. Because afontFamily can include different weights, you can set manually fontWeight toselect the right weight for your text:

To learn how to set the typography in your entire app, look at the themesdocumentation.

Multiple styles in a text

To set different styles within the same Text composable, you have to use anAnnotatedString, a string that can be annotated with styles of arbitraryannotations.

AnnotatedString is a data class containing:

  • A Text value
  • A List of SpanStyleRange, equivalent to inline styling with positionrange within the text value
  • A List of ParagraphStyleRange, specifying text alignment, textdirection, line height, and text indent styling

TextStyle is for use in the Text composable , whereas SpanStyle andParagraphStyle is for use in AnnotatedString.

The difference between SpanStyle and ParagraphStyle is that ParagraphStylecan be applied to a whole paragraph, while SpanStyle can be applied at thecharacter level. Once a portion of the text is marked with a ParagraphStyle,that portion is separated from the remaining as if it had line feeds at thebeginning and end.

AnnotatedString has a type-safebuilder to make it easier to create one:

We can set paragraph styles in the same way:

Maximum number of lines

To limit the number of visible lines in a Text composable, set the maxLinesparameter:

Text overflow

When limiting a long text, you may want to indicate a text overflow, which isonly shown if the displayed text is truncated. To do so, set the textOverflowparameter:

Theming

To use the app theme for text styling, see the themesdocumentation.

User interactions

Jetpack Compose enables fine-grained interactivity in Text. Text selection isnow more flexible and can be done across composable layouts. User interactionsin text are different from other composable layouts, as you can’t add a modifierto a portion of a Text composable. This section highlights the different APIsto enable user interactions.

Selecting text

By default, composables aren’t selectable, which means by default users can'tselect and copy text from your app. To enable text selection, you need to wrapyour text elements with a SelectionContainer composable:

You may want to disable selection on specific parts of a selectable area. To doso, you need to wrap the unselectable part with a DisableSelection composable:

Getting the position of a click on text

To listen for clicks on Text, you can add the clickable modifier. However,if you’re looking to get the position of a click within a Text composable,in the case where you have different actions based on different parts of thetext, you need to use a ClickableText instead:

Click with annotation

When a user clicks on a Text composable, you may want to attach extrainformation to a part of the Text value, like a URL attached to a specificword to be opened in a browser for example. To do so, you need to attach anannotation, which takes a tag (String), an item (String), and a text rangeas parameters. From an AnnotatedString, these annotations can be filtered withtheir tags or text ranges. Here’s an example:

Entering and modifying text

TextField allows users to enter and modify text. There are two levels ofTextField implementations:

  1. TextField is the Material Design implementation. We recommend you choosethis implementation as it follows material designguidelines:
    • Default styling is filled
    • OutlinedTextField is theoutlinestyling version
  2. BasicTextField enables users to edit text via hardware or softwarekeyboard, but provides no decorations like hint or placeholder.

Styling TextField

TextField and BasicTextField share a lot of common parameters to customizethem. The complete list for TextField is available in the TextField sourcecode.This is a non-exhaustive list of some of the useful parameters:

  • singleLine
  • maxLines
  • textStyle

We recommend TextField over BasicTextField when your design calls for aMaterial TextField or OutlineTextField. However, BasicTextField should be usedwhen building designs that don't need the decorations from the Material spec.

Keyboard options

TextField lets you set keyboard configurations options, such as the keyboardlayout, or enable the autocorrect if it’s supported by the keyboard. Someoptions may not be guaranteed if the software keyboard doesn't comply with theoptions provided here. Here is the list of the supported keyboardoptions:

  • capitalization
  • autoCorrect
  • keyboardType
  • imeAction

Formatting

TextField allows you to set a visual formatting to the input value, likereplacing characters with * for passwords, or inserting hyphens every 4 digitsfor a credit card number:
