Indic Language Support for SDK but not PhoneGap

Question

I am trying to develop an app in android with Indian language support exclusively. I just want to convert my text page, on app, in any Indian language, selected by user.

For this I don't want to use web-service and also don't want to use Phonegap. I did some research and realise that rendering of Indic fonts are complex.

I heard that there is a library "Harfbuzz" that render Indic Fonts properly, but it supports only NDK.

Is there any library or engine for SDK?

Check out this page of Dr. C. Scott Ananian, it could be useful for what you're trying to do. He has worked with ports of Pango (an Unicode text layout library).
