Why can't setTypeFace() be resolved?

Question

I'm trying to change the font in my Android app with the code below. However, it keeps throwing setTypeFace() cannot be resolved at me and I don't know why.

navListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.nav_listView);

// Font path
String ralewayBold = "fonts/Raleway-Bold.ttf";
String ralewayExtraBold = "fonts/Raleway-ExtraBold.ttf";
String ralewayExtraLight = "fonts/Raleway-ExtraLight.ttf";
String ralewayHeavy = "fonts/Raleway-Heavy.ttf";
String ralewayLight = "fonts/Raleway-Light.ttf";
String ralewayMedium = "fonts/Raleway-Medium.ttf";
String ralewayRegular = "fonts/Raleway-Regular.ttf";
String ralewaySemiBold = "fonts/Raleway-SemiBold.ttf";
String ralewayThin = "fonts/Raleway-Thin.ttf";

// Loading Font Face
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getApplicationContext()
            .getAssets(), ralewayLight);

// Applying font
navListView.setTypeface(tf);

you have to set this typeface at list item. – Haresh Chhelana Jun 28 '14 at 13:10 — Haresh Chhelana, Jun 28 '14 at 13:10

setTypeface is a method of TextView and not of ListView.

If you want to set custom font style to text in ListView you have to do it in getView of your custom adapter

Its because you set typeface to listview directly.To set typeface to listview use custom adapter and settypeface in getView method in adapter.
