How to set a custom font from the assets folder to the title of an Actionbar in Android?

Question

I am trying to set a custom font Dosis-Medium.otf which is placed in the asssets folder under a subfolder font. I am trying to use the following code but it gives me an error

The constructor TypefaceSpan(Profile, String) is undefined. Please guide me step by step where I am going wrong.

My code snippet is as follows:

   SpannableString s = new SpannableString("My Title");
   s.setSpan(new TypefaceSpan(this, "Dosis-Medium.otf"), 0, s.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
   ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
   actionBar.setTitle(s);
