Displaying Malayalam Unicode fonts in android webview - android

I am developing an Android RSS reader.
My work almost done, but I have problem with Malayalam Unicode fonts when I display them using WebView.
I use following method to display RSS feeds:
String CurrentDescription = headlinesarray.Description[Number];
Description.loadDataWithBaseURL (null, "<html><head><style>#font-face{font-family:'MeeraRegular'; src: url('file:///android_asset/fonts/Meera.ttf');}body{font-family:'MeeraRegular'; font-size:20px; } </style></head><body>"+CurrentDescription+"</body></html>", "text/html", "UTF-8",
null);
When I use this method, it displays Malayalam fonts, but not properly.Many charecters are misplaced.And its so difficult to read.
Here is a screen shot:

Finally I have found a solution.I converted Unicode fonts to Ascii,by replacing each and every Unicode charecters with Ascii.Here I use MLTT-Karthika as Ascii font.Then set this font in typeface.
t=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
Typeface typeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"karthika.TTF");
t.setTypeface(typeFace);

basim, i have one solution. may be this will help you
download salilam ttf file from this link and place this filename instead of malayalam.fnt
http://www.prokerala.com/downloads/fonts.php
add ur font file in assets folder of your project, then with the help of setTYpeface() function set the font for textview.
Typeface typeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAsset(),"malyalam.fnt");
and then add it to your textview like below
textView.setTypeFace(typeFace);
hope this will work for u,
i have sent those code files to ur mail, basim.sherif#gmail.com

Switch your text encoding to UTF-8.
In Eclipse go to Window -> Preferences, select General -> Workspace. From the Text file encoding dropdown, select UTF-8.

Assign font family to text using HTML string in to TextView or load into WebView

My need is to set HTML string into TextView but the problem is the <p style=\"text-align:center\"><span style=\"font-family:montserrat\"><span style=\"color:#660099\"><strong>Hello World</strong></span></span></p>\r\n
That font-family:montserrat is not applied to Text.
Note: I tried to load this HTML string using WebView but there is also same problem is raising.
Please suggest a workaround.
Thanks
Add your font file to your android project, in your case:
montserrat.tff
Define like this in your html string:
#font-face { font-family: montserrat; src: url('fonts/montserrat.ttf'); }
Then try like this:
yourWebView.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/",htmlString,"text/html","utf-8",null);

Weird characters while displaying hindi text in android

I want to display some text in hindi that I am getting from server.
While showing the text some weird characters are displayed (à¤à¥à¤¸à¥à¤à¤¿à¤à¤).
But in iOS its showing perfectly
I think its some encoding issue
By default Android phone (Now some does support) doesn’t support Devanagari fonts. However if you want to use hindi, tamil, bangali or other Devanagari fonts in your Android Application you have an alternative of using external fonts.
Follow these steps...
Download an external Devanagari font that you like to use in your application.
ex. (Verdana.ttf or anand-lipi-bold)
Create a new folder “fonts” under assets and copy the downloaded .ttf font to your assets/font folder.
then Load .ttf to your TextView.
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
Typeface fontHindi = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
"fonts/Ananda Lipi Bold Cn Bt.ttf");
tv.setTypeface(fontHindi);
tv.setText("Hindi font");
Hope this will help you.
Please use below Code for getting string
new String("Your String".getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "utf-8")
I was also getting some arabic string from server and it was displaying some chaaracters like yours but after using this it solved
Here instead of ISO-8859-1 you can use encode type in which data is encoded on server side
Finally got an answer myself
I am using volley as my networking library and by default its encoding was in latin-1
So after changing to utf-8 it worked perfectly
Thanks everyone for your help

How to add Currency Symbols in pdf, generated by my application?

I want to add currency symbols in pdf report, generated by my android application. String symbols i am adding to the file... but its not displaying. Is there any solution? Do i need to use any fonts or encoding for that?
If you need to use just a few currency signs then you may use a walk around for for some symbols, for example for the Euro sign in PDF using the built-in pdf font Helvetica with the 1252 code page:
BaseFont helvetica = BaseFont.createFont("Helvetica", BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
Font font = new Font(helvetica, 12, Font.NORMAL);
Chunk chunk = new Chunk("Euro symbol: 20\u20ac.", font);
document.add(chunk);
But if you are looking to support all currency symbols then you should use the unicode enabled font (like Arial Unicode MS) and embed it into output PDF. You may find the complete list of Unicode currency symbols at unicode.org.

How to load local html pages to android

I want to load local HTML pages in to a WebView. I know how to do it in iPhone. Can any one tell me the way to do it in android.
How to do the below page in android?
put your file to asset folder than you can use the code below
WebView webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.yourwebview);
webview .loadUrl("file:///android_asset/UI/mylocalhtmlfile.htm");
use this.
yourWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/yourfileName.html");
Create a TextView textArea and set it's text with the html string
You can define the string as a part of strings.xml file with your html tags and make sure you call getText(T.string.your_html_string) to fetch the html based text
<string name="your_html_text">"Press <font fgcolor="#ffffffff"><b>Menu</b></font> and touch:\n
\n<li><font fgcolor="#ffffffff"><b>Create </b></font> to create\n</li>
\n<li><font fgcolor="#ffffffff"><b>Delete All</b></font> to delete all\n</li>
</string>
and setText like
textArea.setText(getText(R.string.your_html_text));
The easiest way would probably be to put your web resources into the assets folder then call
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/filename.html");

Thanks in advance
-I found 2 solutions for you i am not sure about useful or not but you can try it
1.)Use Textview instead webview
Html.fromHtml(username + " shared "
+ "<font color=\"#47C4E3\">" + objnews.news_title
+ "</font>");
-Set this code to Textview.settext(..above code..)
2.)Set jeader of webview using this code:-
Map<String, String> headers = new HashMap<String, String>();
headers.put("Accept-Language", "Your fonts");
mWebView.loadUrl("http://developer.android.com", headers);
-THanks! Please tell me if this is the right path you wanted or not?
