How to display Persian(Farsi) numbers in views

Question

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?

Another way to show numbers with Persian font is the use of following Helper Class:

public class FormatHelper {      private static String[] persianNumbers = new String[]{ "۰", "۱", "۲", "۳", "۴", "۵", "۶", "۷", "۸", "۹" };       public static String toPersianNumber(String text) {         if (text.length() == 0) {             return "";         }         String out = "";         int length = text.length();         for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {         char c = text.charAt(i);         if ('0' <= c && c <= '9') {             int number = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(c));             out += persianNumbers[number];         }         else if (c == '٫') {             out += '،';         }         else {             out += c;         }          return out;     } } 

Save this class as UTF8 format and use it like the following code

FormatHelper.toPersianNumber(numberString);
