First you need to add your custom font *.ttf file in the assets folder in your project directory. Now in your program you can add your custom font using the below code:

Typeface font=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "monocorsiva.ttf");
TextView tv=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.appName);
tv.setTypeface(font);

Hope this might have helped you.
