How to create custom fonts in android studio

Question

I need to add new fonts to my project where do i create it in android studio

Can someone advise if i create it in the correct directory in android studio?

I tried putting the fonts folder same location as SRC folder but didn't work out

my code is

Typeface fontRobo = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/Roboto-Black.ttf");
viewTotalValue.setText(total.toString());

Is this correct? please advise

Answer 1

if you use android studio , you should create assets folder from right click at

app ---> New --->Folder --->Assets Folder

choose destination to your assets folder default main

create directory called fonts in assets then place your font

|assets

    |-----------------fonts

        |-------------------Roboto-Black.ttf

|java

|res

AndroidManifest.xml

finally use this code

Typeface fontRobo = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/Roboto-Black.ttf");
viewTotalValue.setText(total.toString()); 
viewTotalValue.setTypeface(fontRobo );
