Pass context in your init(Context context)

And getAssets() like --> context.getAssets()

Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),"Lato_Medium.ttf");

isInEditMode() -->Ensure it will return true

I already add context as parameter and !isInEditMode() retun true, but textview font still not changed.

Ranjithkumar Over a year ago

pls check once again without if(! isInEditMode()) and update me soon

khoi Over a year ago

if isInEditMode() only its return false.

Hold the ctrl key & move your mouse cursor into "Lato_Medium.ttf" if you click that text it will open the file or not? Pls confirm me I will give the solution.

Your code looks right. No problem in code. Check your ttf file. Check same code with other font file. Please update your question code. Because you use wrong one - getResources().getAssets(). So please update your question code

You are missing "fonts/" from your address , it should be like this :

 setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(),"fonts/Lato_Medium.ttf"));
