Try this

1.place your ttf file in assets folder and add these lines to your java file

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(activity.getAssets(),"fonts/androidnation.ttf");

tv.setTypeface(font);

2.To set it through xml

XML Typeface

The easiest way to do it is creating your own TextView:

public class MyTextView extends TextView {

    public DMTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
      super(context, attrs);
      // you need your TypefaceFile "myTypeface.ttf" in the assets folder of your project
      setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),"myTypeface.ttf"));
    }

    // add the other constructors if you want
}

now, you can use it anywhere in your xml: <com.your.package.MyTextView ... > just like normal textviews

It might be improved by caching the Typeface, so you don't have to create it again with every Reference to your TextView.

really kind to downvote an answer and don't tell why. How am I supposed to know what I was doing wrong for two years (and was always working fine) if you don't tell me?! Thanks a lot, little minds. — Lovis, Dec 17 '13 at 10:01

Place you fonts in fonts folder and then use the following code.

TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.appname);
Typeface face = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/epimodem.ttf");
tv.setTypeface(face);

This is the way to set font programmatically.

Create fonts folder in asset and paste the fonts whatever you want to paste.

Create one class. Name it Typesafe.java

public enum TypeSafe {
   HELVETICANEUELTCOMBD,
   HELVETICANEUELTCOMBDCN,
   HELVETICANEUELTCOMCN,
}

After that create one method in your Activity or if you have the Utility class.

public void setTypeface(TextView textView, TypeSafe type, AssetManager assetManager){
    if (TypeSafe.HELVETICANEUELTCOMBD.equals(type)) {
        final Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(assetManager, "fonts/HelveticaNeueLTCom-Bd.ttf");
        textView.setTypeface(typeface);
    } else if (TypeSafe.HELVETICANEUELTCOMBDCN.equals(type)) {
        final Typeface typeface1 = Typeface.createFromAsset(assetManager, "fonts/HelveticaNeueLTCom-BdCn.ttf");
        textView.setTypeface(typeface1);
    } 
}

Call these method in your activity.

setTypeface(yourtextView, TypeSafe.HELVETICANEUELTCOMLT, getAssets());
