How to set custom font in ListView and AlertDialog?

Question

I created ListView, When i click list item it will open AlertDialog Message with NegativeButton. These are worked Perfectly. Now, i want to set custom font to listview item and AlertDialog's title, message and NegativeButton's fonts. Even i tried custom font library but not getting expected output. Here am attaching my tried code below. Please can anyone tell me what's going wrong?

public class NewActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

ListView listView;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_new);

    Calligrapher calligrapher = new Calligrapher(this);
    calligrapher.setFont(this, "Acme-Regular.ttf", true);

    listView = findViewById(R.id.list1);
    final ArrayList<String> concept = new ArrayList<String>();
    concept.add("Who is the captain of Indian Cricket Team?");
    concept.add("When we are celebrating Teacher's Day?");
    concept.add("When we are celebrating Women's Day?");

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, 
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, concept);
    listView.setAdapter(adapter);
    listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @SuppressLint("ResourceType")
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
            AlertDialog.Builder adb = new AlertDialog.Builder(NewActivity.this);
            switch (i)
            {

                case 0:
                    adb.setTitle(concept.get(i));
                    adb.setMessage("Virat Kholi");
                    adb.setNegativeButton("Close", null);
                    adb.show();
                    break;

                case 1:
                    adb.setTitle(concept.get(i));
                    adb.setMessage("September 5");
                    adb.setNegativeButton("Close", null);
                    adb.show();
                    break;

                case 2:
                    adb.setTitle(concept.get(i));
                    adb.setMessage("March 8");
                    Typeface customTypeOne = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Acme-Regular.ttf");
                    adb.setTypeface(customTypeOne);
                    adb.setNegativeButton("Close", null);
                    adb.show();
                    break;
   }
  }
 });
 }
}

You can set font using Typeface Programatically

    Typeface custom_font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/font name.ttf");

     textview.setTypeface(custom_font);

there are two ways to change textview font family

First in xml File:

by default android studio fonts are saved in font folder in res . if you want to use these font please add this line app:fontFamily="@font/alegreya_bold"

Second in java or pragmatically in code

 TextView textView= view.findViewById(R.id.textview);
    textView.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
    textView.setTextSize(13);
    Typeface avnier_roman = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "AvenirLTStd-Roman.otf");
    textView.setTypeface(avnier_roman);

sir you just correctly use the naming convention of your custom fonts name. because android doesn't allow the asset/ drawable in capital words.
