This is how you should do it.

Create a class

public class TextViewContent extends TextView {

    public TextViewContent(Context context) {
        super(context);
        setCustomFont(context);
    }

    public TextViewContent(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        setCustomFont(context);
    }

    public TextViewContent(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);

        if (isInEditMode()) {
            return;
        }
        setCustomFont(context);

    }

    private void setCustomFont(Context ctx) {
        setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(ctx.getAssets(),
                "Champagne_Limousines.ttf"));
    }
}

and in your layout file

<com.hardik.test.widget.TextViewContent
            style="@style/TextMedium"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginBottom="5dip"
            android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:text="@string/tag_line" />

This will display textview in chosen font. Same way for EditText you can extends the EditText class and rest is same.
