    I have found the right answer. There is the static method:

    open static fun create(family: Typeface?, weight: Int, italic: Boolean): Typeface

    For example, if you want the font weight to be 700:

    var text = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.text)
text.typeface=Typeface.create(null,700,false)

  2. 0

    You can only show a TextView as Light, Regular and Condensed if the font that you’re referencing allows those styles.

    private TextView AB;

    Typeface someFontName-condensed = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "assets/NameOfFont-condensed.ttf");

    AB = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myTextViewId);
    AB.setTypeface(someFontName-condensed);
