User defined font in Android application project - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I am new to the forum and Android development, and currently at University with a project in developing an Android app.
My app is designed for kids with Dyslexia and I was hoping to give the user the option to select a font on startup, with one of the fonts being the open source Open Dyslexic font.
I was hoping to gauge some feedback if it would be possible to import this OTF format font into a android project as a resource, and being able to use the selected font for the whole of the activity screens ?
Thanks, Bru

[Q] Icon set creator / replacer / packager out there?

Hello everyone,
I can see many custom icon sets out here, but after some downloads, I realised I would like to create my own icon set, to satisfy my creative needs
The question is: Is there somewhere any kind of application (on PC or PPC) that enables you to replace stock icons on their respected locatons
I'll make myself more clear... Let's say I would like to change my Start menu icons (folders, apps,...) I do know that you can do this with some apps already available on the WM 6.5 platform, but only individually. What I'm searching for, is an app that manages to replace the icons with my own, importing (replacing) them on their locations (for example it will find the icon "Comm Manager" under Start Menu>Settings>Connections>Comm Manager.lnk) In this approach you could make one personalized icon set and use it repeatedly even after a new ROM arrives all in one sweep.
I understand that all aplications are packed in .cab files. So perhaps there is one desktop app, that manages to link my .png/.ico files to the appropriate files, converts that to a .cab and after copying to the storage, that cab after execution would replace/overwrite all the icons.
Hope it's understandable. Sorry, english is not my native language.
If this was asked/commented before, I apologise for bringing that up again...
See you all
there is nothing to do exactly what you want.
however, if you use jwmd and change them 1 by 1, you can save as a "theme" and then import it after you flash a new rom and get the same icons back.

App Development Question

Hello XDA Forum.
Im about as novice as it gets with coding/scripting/application development so I'm looking for some help with a phone application I want to develop.
First, any tips on a free/cheap program to get started using? I dont need anything flashy. Just a good starting point.
Then, does anyone have an example program/script outline, advice or tips that get me to close to this desired outcome:
I want to generate an image, based on a given set of icons/images/text. It would incorporate individual pieces into a final product image.
I want to do this by allowing a user to select options, and those options should reference the corresponding image/icon/text.
Preferably I would use buttons or a drop-down menu or spinner per category of options since there would be a lot of options to choose from. Basically, a giant wall of option checkboxes would be overwhelming.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I looked into the MIT app, and it seems like I can make this happen with it, but the Block builder section was overwhelming for me lol
I feel like I need to have a list of the applicable images, which populate to a new list based on user selections, then they all populate to a results screen, but I'm too novice to figure it out.
