Android studio can't compile app with assets folder

Question

I want to use custom font in my application and i did everything in the right way, but when i build the project and run it it's force stop because it can't found assets folder!

That's the code from MainActivity:

    tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.wlcText);
    tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "en_font.ttf");
    tv.setTypeface(tf);

this is the exception trace:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Font asset not found en_font.ttf
        at android.graphics.Typeface.createFromAsset(Typeface.java:198)

I have assets folder in the right path like that image

Also i tried to browse my apk after compilation and i didn't found the assets folder in it like that image!

That's means Android studio can't see the folders in the project structure!

P.S. i tried a lot of questions here and nothing worked with me!

EDIT

That's the build.gradle with sourceSets:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion '21.1.2'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.mEmoZz.qrgen"
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

    sourceSets {
        main {
            assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
        }
    }
}

That seems odd. Do you have a `sourcesets` closure in that module's `build.gradle` file? If yes, edit your question and post that file. — CommonsWare, May 30 '15 at 13:27
Is your font file inside the assets folder itself or inside the fonts folder of the assets folder? — Bidhan, May 30 '15 at 13:30
@BidhanA Inside the assets folder itself, also i try to put it in `/assets/fonts/` and the same exception — Mohamed, May 30 '15 at 13:32
