As other answers suggest, you may use a font downloaded from google: Android Api 16+

open the textAppearance spinner in the designer: Choose a font for your View (Tap More Fonts...) like so:

In the dialog choose your custom font and download it to your project:

Now, you can refer to this font from xml using the fontFamily attribute:

As a bonus, you can also use it from code: see snippet:

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, yourString, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) toast.getView();
TextView tvToast = (TextView) layout.getChildAt(0);

//Here is the relevant part:
Typeface typeface = ResourcesCompat.getFont(this, R.font.aclonica);
tvToast.setTypeface(typeface);
toast.show();
