custom font in android by using typeface

Question

i want to customize font style, so following is my code

  Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Modernism-Disco.ttf");
                    date.setTypeface(font);
                    date.setText("my Name");

this shows the following error

java.lang.RuntimeException: native typeface cannot be made
            at android.graphics.Typeface.<init>(Typeface.java:175)
            at android.graphics.Typeface.createFromAsset(Typeface.java:149)

and my android studio doesn't show assets directory but it actually exists

Answer 1

As per your second picture you got assets folder inside res folder. This is incorrect location and you need to move your assets one level up to make it work:

assets/
java/
res/
AndroidManifest.xml

Answer 2

将您的资产文件夹移动到您的项目目录，以便res和资产文件夹在同一目录中。

Answer 3

There are basically 4 things that can cause this:

1)You use the wrong extension

2)You placed the fonts in the assets folder and not inside assets/fonts/

3)You misspelled the fonts

4)The fonts need to be lowercase (in your case the solution is to rename Modernism-Disco.ttf to modernism-disco.ttf, strange)
