I am making android app in which I have to give support of Arabic text to those mobiles in which Arabic is not present.

I successfully did this in widgets(textview, button etc) by adding following code.

I ahve added dejavusans.ttf file in assests folder. and in code I added

    TypeFace typeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "dejavusans.ttf"); 
fieldName.setTypeface(typeFace);   
fieldName.setText(ArabicUtilities.reshape(resources.getString(R.string.bring_financial_arabic)));

But the problem is with WebView. The text of webView is breaking. I saw different solutions including How to change font face of Webview in Android?. But no one is working fine. Here is the snapshot.enter image description here The title(TextView) is looking fine but the webpage text is breaking.

If anyone know its answer then please help.

Thanks

  • Check which version of Android and WebKit you have. Older versions are not able to render Arabic even if you supply a font. – Amir E. Aharoni Nov 21 '12 at 07:51
  • I am using 2.2 version and webkit is 533.1. The problem is with web page text only. The text of textview, edittext, buttons are fine in Arabic by using above method. – Zeeshan Mirza Nov 22 '12 at 05:25
  • @zeeshan0026 Have you solved the problem? We're running into the same problem on Android 2.3 now. Hope you can answer, thanks! – Dagang Dec 16 '13 at 09:38

I found a solution of this problem.

I used the following tool http://www.arabic-keyboard.org/photoshop-arabic/

I pasted my arabic in it and copy the result then I pasted the result in my html file. The result is like this.

Although it is not 100 percent accurate but it is much better than previous one.
