How to show marathi text in Android coming from webservice

Question

I need to show marathi text in my application. Actually i know the procedure . I have used this code :

 Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Marathi-Saras.TTF");
         userNameTxt.setTypeface(font);
         userNameTxt.setText("Marathi");

But this is hardcoded and limited. Actually my webservice data which i want to show contains some marathi and English data. whenever marathi data comes it shows me only boxes. here my outputs which looks like this:

Can anyone know what should i need to do so that i can show data in marathi form. thanks in advance

Here is my code: XMLHandler class

package com.app.unipune.announcements.parserHandler;

import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;

import android.text.Html;

public class AnnouncementHandler extends DefaultHandler {
    public static ItemList itemList;
    public boolean current = false;
    public String currentValue = null;

    @Override
    public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,
            Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
        current = true;
        if (localName.equals("channel")) {
            itemList = new ItemList();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName)
            throws SAXException {
        current = false;
        if (localName.equals("title")) {
            itemList.setTitle(currentValue);
        } else if (localName.equals("author")) {
            itemList.setLink(currentValue);
        } else if (localName.equals("description")) {
            itemList.setDescription(currentValue);

        }else if(localName.equals("guid"))
        {
            itemList.setGuid(currentValue);
            System.out.println(currentValue);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
            throws SAXException {
        if (current) {
            currentValue = new String(ch, start, length);
            current = false;
        }
    }

}

Answer 1

instead of this:

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Marathi-Saras.TTF");

write

 Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/Marathi-Saras.TTF");
