添加类FontTextView.java:

public class FontTextView extends TextView {
    String fonts[] = {"HelveticaNeue.ttf", "HelveticaNeueLight.ttf", "motschcc.ttf", "symbol.ttf"};

    public FontTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        init(attrs);
    }

    public FontTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        if (!isInEditMode()) {
            init(attrs);
        }

    }

    public FontTextView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        if (!isInEditMode()) {
            init(null);
        }
    }

    private void init(AttributeSet attrs) {
        if (attrs != null) {
            TypedArray a = getContext().obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.FontTextView);
            if (a.getString(R.styleable.FontTextView_font_type) != null) {
                String fontName = fonts[Integer.valueOf(a.getString(R.styleable.FontTextView_font_type))];

                if (fontName != null) {
                    Typeface myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "font/" + fontName);
                    setTypeface(myTypeface);
                }
                a.recycle();
            }
        }
    }
}

添加到资产库字体

添加到attrs.xml， 数字应该在数组类中的顺序。 < declare-styleable name = " FontTextView " > <attr name="font_type" format="enum"> <enum name="HelveticaNeue" value="0"/> <enum name="HelveticaNeueLight" value="1"/> <enum name="motschcc" value="2"/> <enum name="symbol" value="3"/> < / attr >

从列表中选择字体

从资产中获取字体并设置为所有子元素

public static void overrideFonts(final Context context, final View v) {
    try {
        if (v instanceof ViewGroup) {
            ViewGroup vg = (ViewGroup) v;
            for (int i = 0; i < vg.getChildCount(); i++) {
                View child = vg.getChildAt(i);
                overrideFonts(context, child);
         }
        } else if (v instanceof TextView ) {
            ((TextView) v).setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),"DroidNaskh.ttf"));// "BKOODB.TTF"));
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
 }
 } 

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);

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。

首先，默认不是Arial。默认为Droid Sans。

其次，要更改为不同的内置字体，请在布局XML中使用android:typeface或在Java中使用setTypeface()。

第三，Android中没有Helvetica字体。内置选项有Droid Sans (Sans)、Droid Sans Mono (monospace)和Droid Serif (Serif)。虽然您可以将自己的字体与应用程序捆绑在一起，并通过setTypeface()使用它们，但请记住，字体文件很大，在某些情况下需要许可协议(例如Helvetica，一种Linotype字体)。

EDIT

The Android design language relies on traditional typographic tools such as scale, space, rhythm, and alignment with an underlying grid. Successful deployment of these tools is essential to help users quickly understand a screen of information. To support such use of typography, Ice Cream Sandwich introduced a new type family named Roboto, created specifically for the requirements of UI and high-resolution screens. The current TextView framework offers Roboto in thin, light, regular and bold weights, along with an italic style for each weight. The framework also offers the Roboto Condensed variant in regular and bold weights, along with an italic style for each weight.

ICS之后，android包含了Roboto字体样式， 阅读更多Roboto

编辑2

随着支持库26的出现，Android现在支持自定义字体 违约。您可以在res/fonts中插入新的字体，这些字体可以单独以XML或编程方式设置为TextViews。整个应用程序的默认字体也可以通过定义它styles.xml来改变，android开发者文档对此有明确的指导

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>
