How to display Persian (Farsi) numbers in Android Views?

I want to display Persian (Farsi) numbers on Views. For example, I calculated a date and converted it to Jalali calendar but how can I display it by Persian numbers?

Solution

  • By using Typeface class the font type of a view can be changed to Farsi font so the numbers can be shown by Farsi fonts :

    Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "FarsiFontName.ttf");
myView.setTypeface(typeface);
