I want to display Malayalam text in my app, is it possible? I have tried using typeface from gont file of malayalam language. But it doesn't work. Is there any other way to do it. Please give me some suggestions,

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Get your required Malayalam font into your assets folder of your application. And, follow the below steps -

• Just use this font to your TextView with Typeface like below code

Typeface typeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"malyalam.fnt");

• and then add it to your textview like below

textView.setTypeFace(typeFace);

Hope this helps you.

Update

I just tested below code with one malayalam font. Its working fine. Try with that -

TextView t = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);

t.setText("മലയാളം");

Typeface typeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"AnjaliOldLipi.ttf");

t.setTypeface(typeFace);
