External Fonts in Android

Here i explains example for using external fonts in Android View.
Android applications using  external font files with .ttf extension we can change default font of Text.

Here I have downloaded ".ttf” file from google. Created a new folder “font” in assets folder and paste your recently downloaded font file.

Here we can change the font for a TextView simply using below code in your Activity.

String ttf_fontPath = "fonts/TIMES_SQ.TTF";
TextView textview = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getApplicationContext().getAssets(), ttf_fontPath);
textview.setTypeface(font);

Screen Shots: 

Here we can see we are created font folder under assert folder of your project
