Custom Font not working on Android Fragment

Question

public class HomeFragment extends Fragment {

    public HomeFragment(){}

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_home, container, false);
        Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getActivity().getAssets(), "font/Montserrat-Bold.ttf");
        TextView txt = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.tv);
        txt.setTypeface(font);

        return rootView;
    }
}

I have this on my fragment initializing a Typeface, but i get this error on my Log.

I'm getting a "Font asset not found font/Montserrat-Bold.ttf" error.

I also setup the files in their correct folders. And tried rebuild and clean project nothing works.

change your folder name to fonts instead of font and change it in java file also.

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getActivity().getAssets(), "fonts/Montserrat-Bold.ttf");

Okay, i'll try this and will notify you – Braudy May 20 '16 at 12:10
same Error .. java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.braudy.android.mesasixprofiler/com.braudy.android.mesasixprofiler.MainActivity}: java.lang.RuntimeException: Font asset not found fonts/Montserrat-Bold.ttf – Braudy May 20 '16 at 12:12
this is what i get from changing font to fonts – Braudy May 20 '16 at 12:12
please try with clean and rebuild project – Ravi May 20 '16 at 12:13
i get the same errors :( i tried clean and rebuild twice.. and even close android studio then clean and rebuild. None of it worked – Braudy May 20 '16 at 12:17
you can try renaming the font without hyphen, all in lower case. I had a similar problem which worked fine after renaming font name. Not sure why this happens in Android studio. – Ganga May 20 '16 at 12:18
the weird thing is, it works in Activity even with "-" , it doesn't work in Fragments. – Braudy May 20 '16 at 12:27
yes there is no issue if you use `-` , it will work with that also – Ravi May 20 '16 at 12:31

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_home, container, false);

    Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getActivity().getAssets(), "fonts/customfont.ttf");
    TextView txt = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.tv);
    txt.setTypeface(font);

    return rootView;
}

and the directory

Typeface myFont = ResourcesCompat.getFont(cntext, R.font.font_name);
myTextView.setTypeface(myFont);
