custom fontFamily for textview giving Resources$NotFoundException

Well I'm tring to change a textview font family to a custom font I used this documentation from Google

But my app crash at launch Well here is what i did exactly

I created an Android resource directory and I added my font to it (using windows explorer) Here is a screenshot of that directory

Then I created an Android resource file named myfont in that directory here here is its content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<font-family xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <font
        android:fontStyle="normal"
        android:fontWeight="400"
        android:font="@font/droidkufi_regular" />
</font-family>

Ps: the font file name is droidkufi_regular.ttf (it was with upper case letter but i changed it to lower case)

Than here is my text view 

<TextView
.
.
android:fontFamily="@font/myfont"
.
.
/>

I run the app every things looks good on the gradle build but when the app launch on my phone It crash ("App Name" has stopped) I also tried restarting my phone, clearing the app data, reinstall, and also installing the app on an emulator.

well here is the logcat: in pastebin since it kinda long (packagename is com.mypackagename) https://pastebin.com/cjh67DZm

NB: this only happens with custom fonts, when I use a system font like this: android:fontFamily="cursive" It works as supposed.

use both : 

android:font="@font/yourFont"

and : 

app:font="@font/yourfont"
