Download your desire font

First, I download my fonts in .ttf format and I use the dafont.com site to download fonts. Here are the Steps for applying custom fonts on TextView and using this approach you can apply fonts on every TextView or EditText.

Go to the (project folder) Then app>src>main
Create folders named ‘assets/fonts’ into the main folder.
Put your fonts into the fonts folder. Here I Have ‘myfont.ttf’

Method with AsseetManager


AssetManager am = context.getApplicationContext().getAssets();
typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(am, String.format(Locale.US, "fonts/%s", "myfont.ttf"));
setTypeface(typeface);

AssetManager am = context.getApplicationContext().getAssets();

typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(am, String.format(Locale.US, "fonts/%s", "myfont.ttf"));

setTypeface(typeface);

Alternative Method


 TextView txtAppsName;

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

        txtAppsName=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textAppName);
        Typeface typeFace=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/myfont.ttf");
        txtAppsName.setTypeface(typeFace);
    }
