I cannot find sans-serif-medium in Android Studio font family

I am following the typography guide and this link

How to change fontFamily TextView in Android

It says sans-serif-medium is available on Android 4.1 / 4.2 / 5.0.

But when I try to find these types of fonts, I cannot find a suggestion. What for??

enter image description here

Do I need to download ttf files for this font?

My executable SDK is 24.

Make it so to use the Sans Serif font.

In your styles.xml files define the font style

<style name="roboto_regular_textview" parent="@android:style/Widget.TextView">
        <item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif</item>
    </style>

    <style name="roboto_medium_textview" parent="@android:style/Widget.TextView">
        <item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif</item>
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
    </style>

    <style name="roboto_light_textview" parent="@android:style/Widget.TextView">
        <item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif-light</item>
    </style>

      



And in the layout.xml file

<TextView
                style="@style/roboto_regular_textview"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:textColor="@color/black_text_color"
                android:textSize="30sp" />
