我终于找到了一个非常简单的解决方法。

use these Support libraries in app level gradle, compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.2' compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.0.2' then create a directory named "font" inside the res folder put fonts(ttf) files in that font directory, keep in mind the naming conventions [e.g.name should not contain any special character, any uppercase character and any space or tab] After that, reference that font from xml like this <Button android:id="@+id/btn_choose_employee" android:layout_width="140dp" android:layout_height="40dp" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:background="@drawable/rounded_red_btn" android:onClick="btnEmployeeClickedAction" android:text="@string/searching_jobs" android:textAllCaps="false" android:textColor="@color/white" android:fontFamily="@font/times_new_roman_test" />

在本例中，times_new_roman_test是该字体目录中的字体ttf文件

你可能想要创建一个包含所有字体的静态类。这样，您就不会多次创建字体，这可能会严重影响性能。 只要确保你在“assets”文件夹下创建了一个名为“fonts”的子文件夹。

你可以这样做:

public class CustomFontsLoader {

public static final int FONT_NAME_1 =   0;
public static final int FONT_NAME_2 =   1;
public static final int FONT_NAME_3 =   2;

private static final int NUM_OF_CUSTOM_FONTS = 3;

private static boolean fontsLoaded = false;

private static Typeface[] fonts = new Typeface[3];

private static String[] fontPath = {
    "fonts/FONT_NAME_1.ttf",
    "fonts/FONT_NAME_2.ttf",
    "fonts/FONT_NAME_3.ttf"
};


/**
 * Returns a loaded custom font based on it's identifier. 
 * 
 * @param context - the current context
 * @param fontIdentifier = the identifier of the requested font
 * 
 * @return Typeface object of the requested font.
 */
public static Typeface getTypeface(Context context, int fontIdentifier) {
    if (!fontsLoaded) {
        loadFonts(context);
    }
    return fonts[fontIdentifier];
}


private static void loadFonts(Context context) {
    for (int i = 0; i < NUM_OF_CUSTOM_FONTS; i++) {
        fonts[i] = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), fontPath[i]);
    }
    fontsLoaded = true;

}
}

通过这种方式，您可以从应用程序中的任何地方获取字体。

另一种巩固字体创建的方法…

public class Font {
  public static final Font  PROXIMA_NOVA    = new Font("ProximaNovaRegular.otf");
  public static final Font  FRANKLIN_GOTHIC = new Font("FranklinGothicURWBoo.ttf");
  private final String      assetName;
  private volatile Typeface typeface;

  private Font(String assetName) {
    this.assetName = assetName;
  }

  public void apply(Context context, TextView textView) {
    if (typeface == null) {
      synchronized (this) {
        if (typeface == null) {
          typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), assetName);
        }
      }
    }
    textView.setTypeface(typeface);
  }
}

然后在你的活动中使用…

myTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myTextView);
Font.PROXIMA_NOVA.apply(this, myTextView);

请注意，这种带有volatile字段的双重检查锁定习惯用法仅适用于Java 1.5+中使用的内存模型。

Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
        "fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf");
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.CustomFontText);
tv.setTypeface(tf);

它有点老，但我改进了类CustomFontLoader一点点，我想分享它，所以它可以很有帮助。只需用这段代码创建一个新类。

 import android.content.Context;
 import android.graphics.Typeface;

public enum FontLoader {

ARIAL("arial"),
TIMES("times"),
VERDANA("verdana"),
TREBUCHET("trbuchet"),
GEORGIA("georgia"),
GENEVA("geneva"),
SANS("sans"),
COURIER("courier"),
TAHOMA("tahoma"),
LUCIDA("lucida");   


private final String name;
private Typeface typeFace;


private FontLoader(final String name) {
    this.name = name;

    typeFace=null;  
}

public static Typeface getTypeFace(Context context,String name){
    try {
        FontLoader item=FontLoader.valueOf(name.toUpperCase(Locale.getDefault()));
        if(item.typeFace==null){                
            item.typeFace=Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/"+item.name+".ttf");                 
        }           
        return item.typeFace;
    } catch (Exception e) {         
        return null;
    }                   
}
public static Typeface getTypeFace(Context context,int id){
    FontLoader myArray[]= FontLoader.values();
    if(!(id<myArray.length)){           
        return null;
    } 
    try {
        if(myArray[id].typeFace==null){     
            myArray[id].typeFace=Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/"+myArray[id].name+".ttf");                       
        }       
        return myArray[id].typeFace;    
    }catch (Exception e) {          
        return null;
    }   

}

public static Typeface getTypeFaceByName(Context context,String name){      
    for(FontLoader item: FontLoader.values()){              
        if(name.equalsIgnoreCase(item.name)){
            if(item.typeFace==null){
                try{
                    item.typeFace=Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/"+item.name+".ttf");     
                }catch (Exception e) {          
                    return null;
                }   
            }
            return item.typeFace;
        }               
    }
    return null;
}   

public static void loadAllFonts(Context context){       
    for(FontLoader item: FontLoader.values()){              
        if(item.typeFace==null){
            try{
                item.typeFace=Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/"+item.name+".ttf");     
            }catch (Exception e) {
                item.typeFace=null;
            }   
        }                
    }       
}   
}

然后使用这段代码在你的textview:

 Typeface typeFace=FontLoader.getTypeFace(context,"arial");  
 if(typeFace!=null) myTextView.setTypeface(typeFace);

Android使用Roboto字体，这是一种非常漂亮的字体，有几种不同的粗细(普通、轻、薄、浓缩)，在高密度屏幕上看起来很棒。

如何使用Roboto在xml布局

回到你的问题，如果你想改变所有的TextView/按钮在你的应用程序的字体，尝试添加以下代码到你的styles.xml使用Roboto-light字体:

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    ......
    <item name="android:buttonStyle">@style/MyButton</item>
    <item name="android:textViewStyle">@style/MyTextView</item>
</style>

<style name="MyButton" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Button">
    <item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
    <item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif-light</item>
</style>

<style name="MyTextView" parent="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat">
    <item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif-light</item>
</style>

不要忘记在你的AndroidManifest.xml中使用“AppTheme”

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    ......
</application>
