how to use custom font style on string without any TextView on android

Question

I am using library which do not have custom font change's option. How I can save value in string and change its font and then use this string. I do a lot of search but can not find any way without TextView, because I do not need any TextView.

TextView reg = findViewById(R.id.register);
FloatingActionMenu fab = findViewById(R.id.floatingActionMenu);

ShowcaseConfig config = new ShowcaseConfig();
config.setDelay(500);

MaterialShowcaseSequence sequence = new MaterialShowcaseSequence(this, "221");

sequence.addSequenceItem(
        new MaterialShowcaseView.Builder(this)
                .setTarget(reg)
                .setContentText("I want to use custom font on this string")
                .setDismissOnTouch(true)
                .setShape(new RectangleShape(100,50))
                .build()
);
sequence.addSequenceItem(
        new MaterialShowcaseView.Builder(this)
                .setTarget(fab)
                .setDismissOnTouch(true)
                .setContentText("I want to use custom font on this string")
                .build()
);
sequence.start();

You can change font color by using CDATA in string.xml.

<string name="lable_testing">"You can change font color like this "<![CDATA[<font color="%1$s">hello</font>]]></string>

I don't want to change color, As I mentioned on title I want to use custom fonts style. – Muhammad Usama Apr 22 '20 at 09:26
In order to custom fonts style. First of all, you have to download another fonts style. Then set font style programmatically – Bulma Apr 23 '20 at 09:26

How to do second approach. Mean to say, How to use font family in xml. Because this library do not work in xml layout. All working is in java. – Muhammad Usama Apr 22 '20 at 09:47
i don't use that library so i thought it added in xml as tag – ahmed shaaban Apr 22 '20 at 09:52
No, I mentioned on question that it is in java. – Muhammad Usama Apr 22 '20 at 09:57
so do the first option download it and change all what you need in library folder that will find xml file for design – ahmed shaaban Apr 22 '20 at 12:02
post xml from library file and we will help you with it – ahmed shaaban Apr 22 '20 at 12:24
https://github.com/deano2390/MaterialShowcaseView thats the library and its not enough Xml files. Mostly data is in java format. – Muhammad Usama Apr 22 '20 at 12:29
