Can I set the default font which is bydefault set in android app irrespective of which font user has selected???
Thanks in advance
As a developer there is no easy way to use a specific font in every screen of your app.
You have to set your custom font on each and every UI element. This is explained here.
Alternatively you can use this CustomFont helper class to change every UI elemnt for you.

I am trying to create app which provide text formatting (like font style , font size , font color). So I want default fonts provided by android as a list to be shown in drop-down. Selecting font from drop-down will change the Text dynamically.
Can anyone help , how can I achieve this either via XML or programmatically ?
See the image how it must look like
font list is saved in Typeface class as a static field Map<Stirng, Typeface> sSystemFontMap. you just need to get this field. See my answer here.
There are only three system wide fonts in Android SDK.
normal
serif
monospace

Is it possible to set a custom font as default in a android application? Because typing this for every TextView is not efficient.
login = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvLogin);
login.setTypeface(titleFont);
Is it possible to set a custom font as default in a android application?
Not for a custom Typeface that you loaded from your own font file, sorry. As others have noted, there are workarounds and libraries to help simplify matters a bit. Personally, I'd look at Calligraphy or perhaps Fontify.
Ok my first question is:
Is there a way to change the font on everything in my app? I mean to put for ex the font x.ttf to be the default font for all the buttons,listviews,for everything that is in my app? And if yes,how?
And my second question:
If that is not possible,then please tell me how to change the font on the Tab widget...
Thanks
Still There is no way to change the font for a complete application. All You can do is for Text Views create custom Text View and override the font method. Then you can use the customized text view rather than using the default text view.
This is the way I used the font Helvetica for My app.
Suppose I have an "apk" file. In this app, we can set the font. My question is how we can set that selected font for all applications.
You can't. What would be the point of me being able to define fonts in my application if you were going to override them?
How would you implement different color themes in your app?
All I can see now is plain set color onCreate every activity and control...
Also, how would you store different color schemes in xml?
Just an entries of with different names?
Thank you!
Use custom Themes, which are declared in XML. They are very similar to CSS, if you've used them before.
EDIT:
Here's a better example of changing the theme at run time
