User · Answer

You can use this for font

create a Class Name TypefaceTextView and extend the TextView

private static Map mTypefaces;

public TypefaceTextView(final Context context) {
    this(context, null);
}

public TypefaceTextView(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs) {
    this(context, attrs, 0);
}

public TypefaceTextView(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs, final int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    if (mTypefaces == null) {
        mTypefaces = new HashMap<String, Typeface>();
    }

    if (this.isInEditMode()) {
        return;
    }

    final TypedArray array = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, styleable.TypefaceTextView);
    if (array != null) {
        final String typefaceAssetPath = array.getString(
                R.styleable.TypefaceTextView_customTypeface);

        if (typefaceAssetPath != null) {
            Typeface typeface = null;

            if (mTypefaces.containsKey(typefaceAssetPath)) {
                typeface = mTypefaces.get(typefaceAssetPath);
            } else {
                AssetManager assets = context.getAssets();
                typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(assets, typefaceAssetPath);
                mTypefaces.put(typefaceAssetPath, typeface);
            }

            setTypeface(typeface);
        }
        array.recycle();
    }
}

paste the font in the fonts folder created in the asset folder

<packagename.TypefaceTextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1.5"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="TRENDING TURFS"
        android:textColor="#000"
        android:textSize="20sp"
        app:customTypeface="fonts/pompiere.ttf" />**here pompiere.ttf is the font name**

Place the lines in the parent layout in the xml

In the ideal world you would set the text style attribute in you layout XML definition like that    lt TextView     android id    id TextView      android layout width  wrap content      android layout height  wrap content      android textStyle  bold   gt    There is a simple way to achieve the same result dynamically in your code by using setTypeface method  You need to pass and object of Typeface class  which will describe the font style for that TextView  So to achieve the same result as with the XML definition above you can do the following   TextView Tv    TextView  findViewById R id TextView   Typeface boldTypeface   Typeface defaultFromStyle Typeface BOLD   Tv setTypeface boldTypeface     The first line will create the object form predefined style  in this case Typeface BOLD  but there are many more predefined   Once we have an instance of typeface we can set it on the TextView  And that s it our content will be displayed on the style we defined   I hope it helps you a lot For better info you can visit     http   developer android com reference android graphics Typeface html
