Answer 1

Yeah why not, you can get the Roboto font :

Android ICS typography

Lets say you want to change the font of a text view :

   Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
            "fonts/Roboto-Black.ttf");
    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.FontTextView);
    tv.setTypeface(tf);

Try this link http://www.barebonescoder.com/2010/05/android-development-using-custom-fonts/

Set the typeface property of the control you are targeting to serif... and for the font file I recommend using TTF, it has worked for me in the past
