I have created folder named fonts in my asset folder and put a .ttf file in it. And Assigning that fontfamily to my text like this

txtName.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),"fonts/segoeui.ttf"));

But I want to assign this font in xml file. May be something like this.

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/txtName"
        style="@style/My_Name"
        android:fontFamily="@android:asset/fonts/segoeui"
         />
