I'm able to load my custom font in Android this way:

mTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/AvenirNextCondensed.ttc");

I'm loading it fine, the issue i'm facing is that I need Medium style, which doesn't exist. My font always defaults to bold regardless. Is there a way to set the custom font style for a custom font? I have been digging into this for some time, and saw the below links:

is it .ttf or .ttc and is this font file bold? – Giru Bhai Jun 19 '14 at 05:30
post your xml where you use the typeFace – Rod_Algonquin Jun 19 '14 at 05:32
I created my own `TextView` implementation where I am getting the `TypeFace` using the above code and setting the typeface that way. – KVISH Jun 19 '14 at 05:45
The xml simply uses it in that fashion. – KVISH Jun 19 '14 at 05:46

it's a `ttc`. This font file has bold, medium, etc. – KVISH Jun 19 '14 at 05:59
that will always happen as you are setting the typeface AvenirNextCondensed.ttf look for other ttf files like AvenirNextRegular.ttf and use it for medium – Illegal Argument Jun 19 '14 at 06:02
