I using the following string entry in strings.xml file to display rupee symbol.
<string name="current_amount">"Balance: ₹%.2f"</string>
It displays a square rather than the actual symbol on Android 2.2.
Please help.
PS: I am testing it on an emulator for Android 2.2, I don't have a 2.2 device.
[EDIT] Working soultion for Android 2.2
Ok here's how you can get it to work. You'll have to download the font Rupee_Foradian.ttf
from here and put it in the assets
folder.
Then, place this line in strings.xml
file
<string name="rs">`</string>
And finally set the Typeface using this code:
TextView t = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
Typeface face = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Rupee_Foradian.ttf");
t.setTypeface(face);
t.setText("Balance " + getResources().getString(R.string.rs));
[Original] Doesn't work on Android 2.2
Put this line in your strings.xml file
<string name="rs">\u20B9</string>
In your code, for example, if you're assigning it to a TextView do this:
TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setText("Balance " + getResources().getString(R.string.rs) + VALUE);
<string name="current_amount">Balance: ₹</string>
I have tried this and it works
