I was trying to use custom font in Android Studio as we did in Eclipse. But unfortunately could not figure out where to put the 'assets' folder!

Update 2020:

Create a folder named font inside the res folder and copy your font

<TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:fontFamily="@font/abc_font" />

For programmatic use:

textView.setTypeface(ResourcesCompat.getFont(context, R.font.abc_font))
