how to get android default font list programmatically?

Question

I am trying to create app which provide text formatting (like font style , font size , font color). So I want default fonts provided by android as a list to be shown in drop-down. Selecting font from drop-down will change the Text dynamically. Can anyone help , how can I achieve this either via XML or programmatically ?

See the image how it must look like

For ordinary widgets, there are only three options: serif, sans-serif, and monospace. Fonts are not part of the Android SDK. — CommonsWare, May 09 '16 at 11:48
That's your job. Package some in your app. Or, download some from the Internet. Pay attention to the font licensing terms, of course. — CommonsWare, May 09 '16 at 12:52
@Pallavi its making a one comman class for the set different type of font and in activity to set after bind text view. — Hardik Parmar, May 09 '16 at 14:00
@HardikParmar I need to put .ttf files in asset folder, Correct? — Pallavi, May 10 '16 at 06:39
@HardikParmar , but how many .ttf files I will download? And also it will increase the size of the package. So is there any better way. — Pallavi, May 10 '16 at 10:29
