Answer 2

abc.ttf is the font file

Go to the (project folder)

Then app>src>main

Create folder 'assets>fonts' into the main folder.

Put your 'abc.ttf' into the fonts folder.

AssetManager am = context.getApplicationContext().getAssets(); typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(am, String.format(Locale.US, "fonts/%s", "abc.ttf")); setTypeface(typeface);

or try this way:

TextView tx = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview1); Typeface custom_font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/abc.ttf"); tx.setTypeface(custom_font);
