I had searched to create the assets folder in an android app, the solution which i had tried is <App Name>/src/assets/fonts/

but when i try to use a ttf file in my Application, i have an error :

the code :

mFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(mContext.getAssets(),"fonts/fontType.ttf");

and the error :

native typeface cannot be made

I don't know if the assets folder is in the good place.
