Answer 1

Add your font to assets folder in your project and use the below snippet

 TextView hindiTextView=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtbx);
 Typeface hindiFont=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/fontname.ttf");
 mytextView.setTypeface(hindiFont);

Hope its helpful.

1) add "fonts" folder inside of "assets" folder and paste font inside of fonts folder

2) in layout file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
             android:orientation="vertical"  
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"  
        >  

    <TextView  
           android:id="@+id/custom_font"  
           android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
           android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
           android:text="मैं छात्र हूँ"  
           />  

3) In Activity where you want to set the text use the code below:

 TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.custom_font);  
 Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "hindifont.ttf");  
 txt.setTypeface(font);
