How to use custom font in android library project?

I have created a TextView library project where I have used a custom font. I have to create this library because this TextView will use in other three project as well. I found that assets/fonts folder is not supported by android library project. If I use this way it gives me error message
native typeface cannot be made at android.graphics.Typeface
Is there any workaround here to solve this issue. Other way, I have to use duplicate view in three different app. And also the sample code I am using to get font from library assets folder.
public static Typeface getFont(Context c, String fontName) {
synchronized (fonts) {
if (!fonts.containsKey(fontName)) {
Typeface t = Typeface.createFromAsset(
c.getAssets(), "fonts" + File.separator + fontName);
fonts.put(fontName, t);
}
return fonts.get(fontName);
}
}

infect you can do lot of things .one of easiest solution is following
you can write a function that copy paste font in some sd card folder and for sure it will be static . now you can create type from that path
createFromFile(String path)

To use different Fonts in my project I have use font Library. Just add this library in gradle.
dependencies {
compile 'com.vstechlab.easyfonts:easyfonts:1.0.0'
}
Use of this library is very easy. I have use reference https://android-arsenal.com/details/1/2044

create fonts directory in your assets folder and set your font with ttf format in the font directory. then call font by this code:
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/font.ttf");
textViewName.setTypeface(tf);
your font must be here :
assets>fonts>font.ttf

Android Studio, using Assets Folder

So, I've seen many posts on this, but none has helped. I want to work with the assets folder, for organizational purposes. The images below show where the 'assets' folder is, along with the app.imi options of where it should be. I have tested this, and in the >exploded-aar/com../appcompat-v7/19.1.0/assets ... the files inside this seem to work. I can call on the .mp3 file and load and play it correctly (Though a few times it did not recognize it. Even when it was inside a folder, inside of the directory.)
In the src/main/assets folder, all the files are ignored. Is there a specific way I have to call this? In other words, must I also link the actual folder it is it? src/main/assets/music to load up the riseofcc.mp3?
I do not have 10 reputation to post images, so sorry for only links.
EDIT:Also I am using Android Studio 0.5.7
ANSWERED:
Thanks for Xavier Duchrohet for explaining exploded-aar is for the application's dependencies. I have learned that when calling upon a file inside your asset's folder using the code:
AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
InputStream inputStream = null;
AssetFileDescriptor descriptor = assetManager.openFd("sound/explosion.ogg");
You must include the folder's parent inside the arguement.
Android Studio's app.iml has the asset's directory (src/main/assets) inside of its configuration's options.

Normally, to include sound files, I create a folder called raw, inside the app / src / main / res.
That is, I right click on the folder res and from the menu that appears, choose: New / Android Resource Diretory. Renaming in the window that appears, the Directory name field values for raw.
How it works for me, I hope this might have helped him.

How to access custom fonts from library project?

I had created an android library project.I Used custom fonts from my assets folder in my xml. But I can't access fonts from asset folder of the library project after integrated it with another project.I can access it from asset folder of new project.When i used with library project, it force closed and shows the error "native typeface cannot be made". How can I access asset folder fonts from library project ?? Is it possible ?? Thanks in advance.

Your description is not clear, you should provide your code.
To access fonts from assets, you need to put the method inside the onCreate() method, then you can create your own typeface with the font in assets/fonts folder
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Typeface myFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
"fonts/font.ttf");
}

Android Studio - Set custom fonts with asset manager in fragment

I'm rewriting a project of mine to incorporate fragments for use on tablets. I also decided to start using Android Studio with the conversion. Pretty straight forward but I've run into an issue on the pretty simple task of setting a custom font.
I started with these:
Custom fonts in android and
List of files in assets folder and its subfolders and this Set custom font for Android fragments
In Eclipse my class extended Activity and I did the following in the OnCreate with no problems.(Having a directory and file "assets/FUT_R.ttf")
TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.someTextView);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "FUT_R.ttf");
tv.setTypeface(font);
now trying to convert this Activity to an ActionBarActivity (fragment with V7 support library) and I've changed the above code to this. (where view is the inflated layout with one Framelayout for phones)
TextView tv=(TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.someTextView);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getActivity().getAssets(), "FUT_R.ttf");
tv.setTypeface(font);
and it crashes at run time with the lovely java.lang.RuntimeException: native typeface cannot be madeeven though i created and 'assets' directory on my new project with FUT_R.ttf in its root.
To confirm the asset manager I tried this code:
String[] f = null;
try {
f = getActivity().getAssets().list("");
}
catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
for(String f1:f){
Log.i("names",f1);
}
And got the following output:
07-26 07:40:40.134 2114-2114/com.myapp I/names: images
07-26 07:40:40.134 2114-2114/com.myapp I/names: sounds
07-26 07:40:40.134 2114-2114/com.myapp I/names: webkit
I'm confused because no where in my 'assets' directory or project do I have these files and/or directories. Obviously the error is the system can't find my font file. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? Any direction would be greatly appreciated, I've wasted far too much time on this stupid problem.
Thanks!

I finally stumbled upon this: Load a simple text file in Android Studio
which points out the assets folder in Android Studio has apparently been changed. Instead of its normal location in the root app folder (same level as libs, src, ect) it needs to be created under yourapp/src/main/assets. Hopefully this helps someone else. I wasted a lot of time on it!

Android develop LCD font

How to add additional font in android environment? I need to make a font like LCD with pale background numbers like this:
http://www.androidfreeware.net/img2/gps_speedometer_android_1.png

We at bangalore android developers group had done this for one of our project AutoMeter You can have a look at the code there in detail.
The code would look something like this
Typeface myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(),"DS-DIGIB.TTF");
waitingTimeView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.WaitingTime);
waitingTimeView.setTypeface(myTypeface);
DS-DIGIB.TTF is the font put in the assets folder

public void setFontTextView(Context c, TextView name) {
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(c.getAssets(),"fonts/Arial.ttf");
name.setTypeface(font);
}
Download Arial font in ttf file formate and put in asset folder. Thats enough.

You want to use the android.graphics.Typeface class, which can create new Typefaces from assets or files.
