Why my custom font is not being applied to all my application?

Is it possible to set a custom font in an Android application?

I tried what is posted here, but I don't know where my extends Application class is...

Any help?

EDIT:

I tried the following:

enter image description here

MyApp.java:

public class MyApp extends Application {
  @Override
  public void onCreate() {
     super.onCreate();
    FontsOverride.setDefaultFont(this, "DEFAULT", "raleway_regular.ttf");
    //  This FontsOverride comes from the example I posted above
  }
  }

AndroidManifest.xml:

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

styles.xml:

 <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:fontFamily">default</item>
 </style>

But my font is still not changning... any idea?

Then the MyApp class is called. But no effect on my fonts...

EDIT2: I realized that my buttons apply the custom font after I set a custom style for my buttons. Here is my custom button style:

<style name="MyButtonStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Button">
    <item name="textAllCaps">false</item>
    <item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
</style>

And here is how it looks now:

enter image description here

So: my button is applying the style, but not the TextView. Any idea on why my custom font is not being applied for all items in application?

If you want to set font for entire application, just follow this approach https://stackoverflow.com/a/8854794/3718505 .

But it works only for static content.

there is a grate library for custom fonts in android:custom fonts

here is a sample how to use it.

in gradle you need to put this line

compile 'uk.co.chrisjenx:calligraphy:2.1.0'

and then make a class that extends application an write this code `public class App extends Application { @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate();

    CalligraphyConfig.initDefault(new CalligraphyConfig.Builder()
                    .setDefaultFontPath("your font path")
                    .setFontAttrId(R.attr.fontPath)
                    .build()
    );
}

}`

and in the activity class put this method before onCreate.

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
    super.attachBaseContext(CalligraphyContextWrapper.wrap(newBase));

and the last thing in your manifest file write like this.

 <application
    android:name=".App"

and it will change the whole activity to your font! its simple and clean!

Try this code. But you need to initialize your TextView or Button in code by findViewByIdMethod(int id).

TextView yourTextView = findViewById(R.id.YourTextViewId);    
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getActivity().getAssets(),"raleway_regular.ttf");
yourTextView.setTypeface(font);
