  1. Go to project folder
  2. Then app>src>main
  3. Create folder 'assets>fonts' into the main folder.
  4. Put your 'abc.ttf' into the fonts folder.

Then initialise your button and set the font in Oncreate if you are using Activity or in onViewCreated if you are using Fragment like below

Button myButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.my_button_id);
TypeFace myFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),  "fonts/abc.ttf");
myButton.setTypeFace(myFont);

  • TypeFace myFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/Staubach.ttf"); ^ symbol: class TypeFace location: class MainActivity Note: C:\Users\Paranjaya Jain\AndroidStudioProjects\Call\app\src\main\java\com\example\paranjayajain\call\MainActivity.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.

  • Not sure about this error. Please check this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21601973/typeface-error-in-extended-baseadapter-class . If you are using a fragment, you can get the context or activity by getContext()/getActivity() methods – emilpmp Dec 27 '17 at 10:03
