In Android Studio Right click on app & create a folder assets.
Right click on assets and create a folder fonts.
Download .ttf file i.e fontName.ttf and paste inside fonts folder.

Now you have to do main things. Inside your package create a class.

This class is for TextView

public class Railway_Regular extends TextView {
public Railway_Regular(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    this.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),"fonts/Raleway-Regular.ttf"));
}}

This class is for Button

public class Railway_Regular_Btn extends Button {
public Railway_Regular_Btn(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    this.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),"fonts/Raleway-Regular.ttf"));
}}

This class is for EditText

public class Railway_Regular_EdTx extends EditText {
public Railway_Regular_EdTx(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    this.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),"fonts/Raleway-Regular.ttf"));
}}

Like these you can create classes for all you Widgets & reference the fontname.ttf to your classes.

Now,for set textview as your font do this.

for TextView

<package_name.fonts.Railway_Regular
    android:padding="5sp"
    android:id="@+id/test_nameDR"
    android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Details Text"
    android:textColor="@color/black"
    android:textSize="14sp"/>

for Button

 <package_name.fonts.Railway_Regular_Btn
    android:id="@+id/revSubmit"
    android:background="@color/greenDeep"
    android:layout_marginTop="-54dp"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="54dp"
    android:textColor="@color/white"
    android:textSize="16dp"
    android:text="SUBMIT REVIEW"
    />

for EditText

   <package_name.fonts.Railway_Regular_EdTx
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="40dp"
                android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
                android:layout_marginRight="30dp"
                android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
                android:textColorHint="@color/lightgray"
                android:textSize="14dp"
                android:background="@drawable/edit_text"
                android:id="@+id/email_id"
                android:hint="Email Id"
                android:inputType="textEmailAddress" />

Second Method to Change your font :

  Typeface typeface,typeface2;
  typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(),"fonts/Raleway-Regular.ttf");
  typeface2 = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(),"fonts/Raleway-SemiBold.ttf");

 button1.setTypeface(typeface);
 edit_text1.setTypeface(typeface2);

You can use TTF format to change the font

 tv1=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView3);
      tv2=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView4);

      Typeface face= Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "font/font.ttf");
      tv1.setTypeface(face);

      Typeface face1= Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "font/font1.ttf");
      tv2.setTypeface(face1);

You can do it programmatically using the below code for RadioButton/TextView/Checkbox -

Also make sure that you have the corresponding .ttf file inside your Assets folder.

RadioButton rb  = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.radiobutton);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "SF_Cartoonist_Hand_Bold.ttf");
rb.setTypeface(font);

Or you can do it inside your xml file inside your TextView by entering this -

From android 4.1 / 4.2 / 5.0, the following Roboto font families are available:

android:fontFamily="sans-serif"           // roboto regular
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"     // roboto light
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-condensed" // roboto condensed
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-black"     // roboto black
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-thin"      // roboto thin (android 4.2)
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-medium"    // roboto medium (android 5.0)

You can use various methods to change your font. One of them is:

  Typeface typeface,typeface2;
  typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(),"fonts/Raleway-
  Regular.ttf");
  typeface2 = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(),"fonts/Raleway-
  SemiBold.ttf");

  button1.setTypeface(typeface);
  edit_text1.setTypeface(typeface2);

In themes.xml, I put this line into the theme, which was assigned to the app in AndroidManifest.xml:

<item name="android:fontFamily">EnterFontFamilyNameHere</item>
