forcing droid sans to use as font in application

I have an android application in which if user changes his/her system font through settings to some other font, it looks ugly, how can I force my application to use droid sans as default font or an individual element to use droid sans irrespective of user preference.

In styles.xml, go to your Base application theme definition and then force typeface to use sans. So it will be something like below

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:typeface">sans</item>
</style>

Put font file to project '/assets' folder and use it this way:

    TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.some_text);
    text.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
            "DroidSans.ttf"));

You can use the XML layout to set the font for your application via android:typeface. You can set it to normal, sans, serif, or monospace.
