I downloaded the ttf font and put it in the assets / fonts folder .. full folder address: app \ src \ main \ assets \ fonts

I pull out in activit:

Typeface myfonts = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/a_AntiqueTitulGr.ttf"); mSelectedItemView.setTypeface(myfonts);

It compiles fine, but the application gives an error. Looked at what: "native typeface cannot be made".

Found a solution that a memory leak is possible. How the solution created the class:

  public class Utils { private static final Hashtable<String, Typeface> cache = new Hashtable<String, Typeface>(); public static Typeface getTypeFace(Context context, String assetPath) { synchronized (cache) { if (!cache.containsKey(assetPath)) { try { Typeface typeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), assetPath); cache.put(assetPath, typeFace); } catch (Exception e) { Log.e("TypeFaces", "Typeface not loaded."); return null; } } return cache.get(assetPath); } } }

And now pulled out like this:

  Typeface myfonts = Utils.getTypeFace(this, "fonts/a_BentTitulDcFr.ttf"); mSelectedItemView.setTypeface(myfonts);

The error has disappeared. The application has started. But the font does not change. How to solve this problem? Thank.

    They also write that sometimes this decision helps. Write in gradle

     sourceSets { main { assets.srcDirs = ['assets'] }

    The problem was banal. You cannot use upper case and all hyphens in the font name.

     fonts/a_AntiqueTitulGr.ttf - не верно fonts/antiquetitulgr.ttf - верно

    Do not forget to rename it in the fonts folder.
