How to display Persian(Farsi) numbers in 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);
