Check your MyEditText class:

com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:803) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: native typeface cannot be made at android.graphics.Typeface.(Typeface.java:265)

    Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/Lato-Light.ttf");

You cannot use native Typeface here. Using another method.

so we're do I use the native Typeface – Moplio Oct 17 '16 at 06:15

try to change your font 's name to lowercase, replace - with _: fonts/Lato-Light.ttf -> fonts/lato_light.ttf – PLe Oct 17 '16 at 07:09

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #69: Error inflating class, when using a custom font for edittext
