For any font family,We have to download that file(.ttf format) and add that file into our project directory.That too under the font directory.After adding those files,we can use that in our textview using android:fontFamily attribute.

Right from the Android Docs

To set a font for the TextView, In the layout XML file, set the fontFamily attribute to the font file you want to access.

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:fontFamily="@font/roboto"/>
