Android: load custom font in SD card

Question

Is it possible to use a custom font in android which is stored in the SD card? What I've seen so far indicates the font file must be in the assets folder. Please tell me I'm wrong.

Answer 1

Typeface.createFromFile() takes a String path or File.

Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromFile(
    new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "font.ttf"));
