If you are extending this view from xml then try using it this way::

public class MyTextView extends TextView {

  public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
      super(context, attrs, defStyle);
      init();
  }

 public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
      super(context, attrs);
      init();
  }

 public MyTextView(Context context) {
      super(context);
      init();
 }


public void init() {
    Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/hirakakupronbold.ttf");
    setTypeface(tf);

}

}

Its working fine for me. Make separate class extending TextView for each typeface style.to To apply it, replace your "TextView" with "com.yourpackage.MyTextView"
