Typeface type = Typeface.createFromFile("C:/Fonts/Kokila.ttf");
gameResult.setTypeface(type);

first place your font in assets folder then like:

enter image description here

gameResult = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewResult);
Typeface type = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/Kokila.ttf"); 
gameResult.setTypeface(type);

You are trying to access the font from your PC! Your phone does not have access to the 'C:/' drive of your PC, and therefore cannot load the font. You need to place the Font into the Assets folder of your application, and then read it from there.

You can read a file from the Assets folder using 

context.getAssets().open(fileName);
