Custom Font Implemented with TypeFace method not changing

Question

I've Read a lot of articles and stack Questions for over 4 hours, when i use this method to define a custom font i don't get any error but the font doesn't change?

My mainactivity.java is listed below

public class MyActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
        TextView textView=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.myid);
        Typeface typeface=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"assets/fonts/Face Your  Fears.ttf");
        textView.setTypeface(typeface,Typeface.BOLD);
    }

IS your font file having name as "Face Your Fears.ttf" in assets/fonts folder? — Giru Bhai, Jun 14 '14 at 08:30
Yes , Iv'e crossed checked all that , but nothing changes , should i include anything else anywhere apart from this function — Sainath S.R, Jun 14 '14 at 08:31
have you created `fonts` folder under `assets` or you have put the font file directly to `assets` folder. — maddy d, Jun 14 '14 at 08:37

getAssets() gives path for your assets folder,so no need to write assets again

in "assets/fonts/Face Your Fears.ttf" Try changing

Typeface typeface=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"assets/fonts/Face Your  Fears.ttf");

to

Typeface typeface=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/Face Your  Fears.ttf");

The complete example for same ttf file implementation is here Android Using External Fonts
