android - Custom font not working in lollipop

Question

Is there any way to use geomanist(custom) font in android lollipop.

But it works in all other version.

Here is my code

In MyApplication class

    FontsOverride.setDefaultFont(this, "DEFAULT", "geomanist-lightnew.ttf");
    FontsOverride.setDefaultFont(this, "MONOSPACE", "geomanist-lightnew.ttf");
    FontsOverride.setDefaultFont(this, "SERIF", "geomanist-lightnew.ttf");
    FontsOverride.setDefaultFont(this, "SANS_SERIF", "geomanist-lightnew.ttf");

---

public final class FontsOverride {

public static void setDefaultFont(Context context,
                                  String staticTypefaceFieldName, String fontAssetName) {
    final Typeface regular = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),
            fontAssetName);
    replaceFont(staticTypefaceFieldName, regular);
}

protected static void replaceFont(String staticTypefaceFieldName,
                                  final Typeface newTypeface) {
    try {
        final Field staticField = Typeface.class
                .getDeclaredField(staticTypefaceFieldName);
        staticField.setAccessible(true);
        staticField.set(null, newTypeface);
    } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }



}




}

Thanks

I use this Library and it works superbly on all devices

Step:-

1) Add this line in your gradle compile 'com.github.balrampandey19:FontOnText:0.0.1'

2) Add your font in asset folder like this

3) Then replace your view in xml with

<com.balram.library.FotTextView
                    android:id="@+id/vno_tv"
                    .
                    .
                    android:textSize="14sp"
                    app:font="regular.ttf" />

this line is important to set custom font you want app:font="regular.ttf"

You can do same for Buttons Edittext

OR

If you want to use same "Font" through whole application you can follow this Guide here
