    public LightEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
        setFont();
    }

    /**
     * This method is used to set the given font to the TextView.
     */
    private void setFont() {
        Typeface typeface = TypefaceCache.get(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/Roboto-Light.ttf");
        setTypeface(typeface);
    }

    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        super.onDraw(canvas);
    }
