In my application i have not set typeface property for textviews in my app that is used to change font of textview.If someone runs the app on phone ,the default fonts used are the fonts set for the phone.I want my app to have only one font for all textviews in my app even if it is running on phone having different default font.My default fonts should be same on any phone.I dont want to use custom Textview.Is there a way to do this?

I hope it's not to late.
Use this library: Calligraphy
What you need to do is
1) Add this in your onCreate() method and select your font in the assets/fonts folder of your project.
CalligraphyConfig.initDefault("fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf", R.attr.fontPath);
2) Wrap the activity context.
@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
super.attachBaseContext(new CalligraphyContextWrapper(newBase));
}
Do this for every activity! And thats it. :)

For all the textviews you are declaring in your project you need to get the id in java code using findViewById and u need to set the typeface for each and every textview like following
font = Typeface.create("serif", Typeface.NORMAL);
myTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myTextView);
myTextView.setTypeface(font,Typeface.BOLD);
u need to set the font for all the textviews in your project in above way
