How to set custom font for items loaded in .NET MAUI ListView (SfListView) ?
The .NET MAUI ListView (SfListView) provides the capability to enhance item appearance using custom fonts. This guide outlines the steps to implement custom fonts in SfListView.
STEP 1: Add the custom fonts in True Type Font (TTF) format within the Resources’ Fonts folder.
STEP 2: Register these fonts in your application by invoking the ConfigureFonts method on the MauiAppBuilder object. Use the AddFont method to specify the font filename and an optional alias.
public static class MauiProgram
{
public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
{
var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
builder
.UseMauiApp<App>()
.ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
{
fonts.AddFont("Lobster-Regular.ttf", "LobsterRegular");
fonts.AddFont("Satisfy-Regular.ttf", "SatisfyRegular");
});
builder.ConfigureSyncfusionListView();
return builder.Build();
}
}
STEP 3: Refer to the font name or alias using the FontFamily property within your XAML to apply the fonts.
<listView:SfListView x:Name="listView" ItemsSource="{Binding BookInfo}" ItemSize="120">
<listView:SfListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackLayout>
<StackLayout Margin="10,0,0,0" VerticalOptions="StartAndExpand">
<Label Text="{Binding BookName}" FontFamily="Lobster-Regular" FontSize="20" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"/>
<Label Text="{Binding BookDescription}" FontFamily="Satisfy-Regular" FontSize="20" VerticalOptions="StartAndExpand"/>
</StackLayout>
<BoxView HeightRequest="1" BackgroundColor="LightGray"/>
</StackLayout>
</DataTemplate>
</listView:SfListView.ItemTemplate>
</listView:SfListView>
