Download a TruTypeFace font (.ttf) and place it in asset folder. Add following code to get that font from assets set that font to your text view like the code below.

public static class MyViewHolder {
  TextView textViewArabic;
  ImageView imgView;
  Typeface face;

  public MyViewHolder(View v, Context context) {
   // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
   textViewArabic = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.tvArabic);
   imgView = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.imgView);
   face = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),
                    "fonts/_PDMS_Saleem_QuranFont.ttf");
   textViewArabic.setTypeface(face);
  }
 }
