It might sounds weird, but the fact is that Android handles languages really bad. Take Arabic for example :
Arabs in the east-part use arabic letters (ابجدهوز) and persian numbers (٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩).
Arabs in west-part use arabic letters (ابجدهوز) and arabic numbers (0123456789).
Android only have one kind of Arabic which is the first.
I'm looking for a way to apply the second kind in my application (use arabic letters but also arabic numbers)
Is there any way to do so?
Try to specify the numbering system (nu) in the default locale. For example, the following locale would make the system displaying Indian numbers (٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩)
Locale AR_LOCALE_EAST_NUMBERS = new Locale.Builder().setLanguageTag("ar-u-nu-arab").build();
Locale.setDefault(AR_LOCALE_EAST_NUMBERS);
