The easiest way to add the font programatically to a TextView is to, first, add the font file in your Assets folder in the project. For example your font path is looking like this: assets/fonts/my_font.otf

And add it to a TextView as:

Kotlin

val font_path = "fonts/my_font.otf"  

myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(MyApplication.getInstance().assets, font_path)

textView.typeface = myTypeface

Java

String font_path = "fonts/my_font.otf";
Typeface myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(MyApplication.getInstance().assets, font_path)
textView.setTypeface(myTypeface);
