[android help] How to use custom font in android xml?

The best way i found by googling is- Say if you want to use in TextView then we have to extend the Textview and have to set the font in that later we can use our customised Textview in our xml. I'll show the extended TextView below

package com.vins.android.widget.digi;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MyTextView extends TextView {

    public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        init();
    }

    public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init();
    }

    public MyTextView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        init();
    }

    private void init() {
        Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(),
                                               "your_font.ttf");
        setTypeface(tf);
    }

}

We calling init() to set font in each of the costructors. Later we have to use this in our main.xml as shown below.

    android:id="@+id/txt"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:text="This is a text view with the font u had set in MyTextView class "
    android:textSize="30dip"
    android:textColor="#ff0000"
   >
