    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tv"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:text="amelia"
        tools:context=".MainActivity" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/tv"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="28dp"
      android:text="Airacobralight"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_marginTop="32dp"
         android:text="Amalgam"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView3"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_below="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_marginTop="25dp"
         android:text="AiracobraAlt"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView4"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView3"
        android:layout_below="@+id/textView3"
        android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
         android:text="DroidSans"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView5"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_below="@+id/textView4"
        android:layout_marginTop="36dp"
       android:text="DroidSerifBoldItalic" />

</RelativeLayout>


Call all textviews in your Java File and set typefaces,



package com.example.accessfromassets;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
 
       

      //findId from xml file 
       
  TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
  TextView tv1=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView2);
  TextView tv2=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView3);
  TextView tv3=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView4);
  TextView tv4=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView5);
  TextView tv5=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv);

  //getting .ttf files from assets
 
 Typeface amelia = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Amelia.ttf"); 
 Typeface Airacobralight = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Airacobra Light.ttf");
 Typeface Amalgam = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Amalgam.ttf"); 
 Typeface AiracobraAlt = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Airacobra Alt.ttf");
 Typeface DroidSans = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "DroidSans.ttf");
 Typeface DroidSerifBoldItalic = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "DroidSerif-BoldItalic.ttf");



 //set typefaces to the textviews

 tv.setTypeface(amelia);
 tv1.setTypeface(Airacobralight);
 tv2.setTypeface(Amalgam);
 tv3.setTypeface(AiracobraAlt);
 tv4.setTypeface(DroidSans);
 tv5.setTypeface(DroidSerifBoldItalic);
    }

}

How to overcome this ?
