Development issue/problem:
For some reason I get this mistake on lollipops, and since lollipops are so new, I can’t understand why, and I have no idea how to do it. Thank you in advance for the logcat error:

…. Another 10
EDIT: HERE’S THE CODE THAT CAUSED THE ERROR…
title = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.title) ;
Font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), helvetica.ttf) ;
title.setTypeface(font) ;
I have helvetica.ttf in the asset folder of the project files.
EDIT:
This application works on all devices up to and including version 5.0. For some reason, version 5.0 does not recognize the file in the My Assets folder.
I tried to place a screenshot in my assets folder, but I don’t have enough credit to post photos.
How can I solve this problem?
Solution 1:
If you work with Android Studio, make sure your assets are in the root folder and not in the
folder.
Solution 2:
It is now preferable to use this approach for custom fonts.
Saving fonts in red/font
To the :
Type the font = ResourcesCompat.getFont(context, R.font.myfont) ;
Solution 3:
I, too, had this problem before I realized that I hadn’t preceded the .otf file with fonts/.
Font type = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),fonts/TTTMastersDEMOBlack.ttf) ;
Solution 4:
It worked for me. In my case it didn’t work because I created an assets map in res instead of in main.
Solution No 5:
If the folder change does not work, the Android team may have already fixed the problem, but didn’t have time to do it during version 5.0. It’s all explained here:

The solution (at least for me) is to correct font files with TTX, as mentioned in a related problem.
Running TTX can be a bit cumbersome if you have no experience with Pythons, so I finally downloaded Adobe’s AFDKO, including TTX. You need to run ttx yourfontfile.ttf which will convert your file to .ttx and then run ttx yourfontfile.ttx again to get a new .ttf that works with version 5.0.
Solution No 6:
Clear project, it worked for me on Android 6.0.
Solution No 7:
Put the Assets folder in the root folder.
After that:
Typeface=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),OpenSans-Light.ttf) ;
textView.setTypeface(font) ;
Solution No 8:
I’ve encountered this problem before. I removed x.ttf, then I undid the removal and tried to boot without locking. So I just erased it, downloaded the font again and added it to the font file, and it worked fine.
Solution No 9:
Okay, guys,
I had the same problem. First of all, I made my font loading logic shockproof:
/**
* Init method. This method must be called for any other call in this class.
*/
public static void init() {
fontPlain = createFont( helveteticab.ttf , Typeface.NORMAL ) ;
fontBold = createFont( helveteticab.ttf , Typeface.BOLD ) ;
}
/**
* Load the font from the Asset Font folder.
*/
public static Typeface createFont (String font, int style) {
Typeface;
try {
AssetManager assets = Kit.getAppContext().getAssets();
typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset( assets, fonts + File.separator + font );
}
catch (RuntimeException e) {
// createFromAsset() launches a RuntimeException if it fails.
Log.e ( Constants.TAG, Cannot create font: + font, e );
font = Typeface.defaultFromStyle( style );
}
inverted font;
}
I also downloaded another font from this project in git:
https://github.com/dimanchec3/Tutoriapps-Android/blob/master/assets/Helvetica.ttf
I noticed that my old font was 56 KB and the new one 84 KB. I think I had an older version of the police.
Make sure you have the correct license before using this policy.
Good luck!
