You can use Alefonizer .. its a lib renders arabic characters in android devices that dont support Arabic
here is a smaple
package org.alefon.com;
import www.alefon.com.alefonizerArarbic.AlfnFixText;
import www.alefon.com.alefonizerArarbic.AlfnLining;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.ViewTreeObserver;
import android.view.ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private TextView tv;
private AlfnFixText alfntx;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
alfntx = new AlfnFixText(true);
tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tx);
String text = "قال ابن رشد:الله ليمكن ٔان يعطينا عقول ويعطينا شرأيع مخالفة لها";
tv.setText(text);
ViewTreeObserver vto = tv.getViewTreeObserver();
vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
@Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
AlfnLining alflining = new AlfnLining();
String rlines = alflining.getTextLines(tv.getWidth(),
tv.getPaint(), tv.getText().toString(), true);
if (rlines != null) {
String lli[] = rlines.split("\n");
String fn = "";
for (String st : lli) {
try {
st = alfntx.getFixedText(st);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
fn += st + "\n";
}
tv.setText(fn);
}
ViewTreeObserver obs = tv.getViewTreeObserver();
obs.removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
}
});
}
}
Just remember that you would need to use a font that contains Arabic character & OTL for Arabic ..i.e. Arial ..
====== update =======
Android studio use UTF-8 as file encoding.. but you can change it see screenshot:
Good luck,
