Android Runtime Exception font asset not found

Question

Here is my code and screenshot I'm trying to set custom font typeface but Runtime exception occurs font asset not found while font file is in asset folder. Am I missing something ?

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "font/terminal.ttf");
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.weatherHeadingTV)).setTypeface(font);

Answer 1

Use this method :

final Typeface typeface = ResourcesCompat.getFont(context, R.font.X);

ResourcesCompat class is a compatible way to retrieve your resources.

Answer 2

1. Folder's name should be "fonts" and not "font"
2. Note that your "fonts" folder is located under your "assets" folder (which should be located under your "main" folder and not your "res" folder) It took me way too long to figure this one out...

Answer 3

the folder name has to be 'fonts' not 'font'

Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/" + font);

Answer 4

Your font asset folder is named incorrectly. You should name the folder as fonts not as font. Also change your code:

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/terminal.ttf");
