Is there any way to add custom fonts in Themes in Android?

Answer 1

You can include your custom font type in the assets folder and retreive it from there.

Declare the Typefaces as:

Typeface helveticaBold;
Typeface helveticaRegular;

in onCreate() write the following code:

helveticaBold = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "helvetica_bold.ttf");
helveticaRegular = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "helvetica_regular.ttf");

lastly, set the typeface of the text of TextView or EditText as:

editText.setTypeface(helveticaRegular);

that's it...
