How to set default font family for entire Android app

I’m using the Roboto light font in my app. To set the font I’ve to add the android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light" to every view. Is there any way to declare the Roboto font as default font family to entire app? I’ve tried like this but it didn’t seem to work.

<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light"></style>

<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
    <item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif-light</item>
</style>
