java - Custom fonts in android

Question

I am trying to use custom fonts in a textview:

tv=(TextView)findViewById(res);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(), "fonts/font.ttf"); 
tv.setTypeface(font); 

But when I run I get the following error:

W/System.err(  542): java.lang.RuntimeException: native typeface cannot be made

Whats the issue?

Answer 1

For me, this definitely was the message I received when the font file couldn't be found. Something as simple as:

Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/MYFONT.TTF");

When my font was actually in font/MYFONT.TTF
