You can access your font file from assets folder to xml file.

hope use full to you:-

TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.custom_font);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "yourfont.ttf");
text.setTypeface(font);

Answer 3

1.Fisrt we can add assets folder> in that your font styles.ttfs in your app then
2.write access code for fonts in strings like :

<string name="fontregular">OpenSans-Light.ttf</string>
<string name="fontmedium">OpenSans-Regular.ttf</string>

<EditText
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:fontFamily="@string/fontregular"
    android:textColor="@color/normalfont"
    android:textSize="@dimen/textregular"/>

4.Add dimensions for font size :

<dimen name="textregular">14sp</dimen>
<dimen name="textheader">16sp</dimen>
<dimen name="smalltext">12sp</dimen>
<dimen name="littletext">10sp</dimen>
<dimen name="hightfont">18sp</dimen>

5.Add font color in colors :

<color name="normalfont">#666</color>
<color name="headerfont">#333</color>
<color name="aquablue">#4da8e3</color>
<color name="orange">#e96125</color>

Answer 4

//accessing font file in code,

Typeface type = Typeface.createFromAsset(getResources().getAssets(),"fonts/arial.ttf");
textView.setTypeface(type);//assign typeface to textview

//in assets folder->fonts(foldername)->arial.ttf(font file name)

Answer 5

I took droid kid's answer and made it work with ANY font, just by typing the font filename directly into the XML:

layout.xml

<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >

    <!-- where font file is at "assets/fonts/arial.ttf" -->
    <com.odbol.widgets.TextViewWithFont
        ...
        custom:fontFilePath="fonts/arial.ttf" />

</RelativeLayout>

Fonts.java

public class Fonts {

    // use Weak so fonts are freed from memory when you stop using them
    private final static Map<String, Typeface> fonts = new WeakHashMap<>(5);

    /***
     * Returns a font at the given path within the assets directory.
     *
     * Caches fonts to save resources.
     *
     * @param context
     * @param fontPath Path to a font file relative to the assets directory, e.g. "fonts/Arial.ttf"
     * @return
     */
    public synchronized static Typeface getFont(Context context, String fontPath) {
        Typeface font = fonts.get(fontPath);

        if (font == null) {
            font = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), fontPath);
            fonts.put(fontPath, font);
        }

        return font;
    }
}

values/attrs.xml

<resources>

    <declare-styleable name="TextViewWithFont">
        <!-- a path to a font, relative to the assets directory -->
        <attr name="fontFilePath" format="string" />

        <attr name="type">
            <enum name="bold" value="1"/>
            <enum name="italic" value="2"/>
        </attr>
    </declare-styleable>
</resources>

TextViewWithFont.java

public class TextViewWithFont extends TextView {
    private int defaultDimension = 0;
    private int TYPE_BOLD = 1;
    private int TYPE_ITALIC = 2;
    private int fontType;
    private int fontName;

    public TextViewWithFont(Context context) {
        super(context);
        init(null, 0);
    }
    public TextViewWithFont(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init(attrs, 0);
    }
    public TextViewWithFont(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        init(attrs, defStyle);
    }
    private void init(AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        // Load attributes
        final TypedArray a = getContext().obtainStyledAttributes(
                attrs, R.styleable.TextViewWithFont, defStyle, 0);
        String fontPath = a.getString(R.styleable.TextViewWithFont_fontFilePath);
        fontType = a.getInt(R.styleable.TextViewWithFont_type, defaultDimension);
        a.recycle();

        if (fontPath != null) {
            setFontType(Fonts.getFont(getContext(), fontPath));
        }
    }
    private void setFontType(Typeface font) {
        if (fontType == TYPE_BOLD) {
            setTypeface(font, Typeface.BOLD);
        } else if (fontType == TYPE_ITALIC) {
            setTypeface(font, Typeface.ITALIC);
        } else {
            setTypeface(font);
        }
    }
}
