How to set the font of a TextView created at runtime?

I created a TextView

Textview tv = new TextView(this);      
tv.setTextSize(20);

You need to use Typeface:

1. add font you wish to use to your project as asset.

2. create Typeface object using that font:

   Typeface myFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/MyFont.ttf");

3. set typeface to the object you'd like to customize:

   TextView myTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.my_text_view); myTextView.setTypeface(myFont);
