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: output

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;
        }
    }

}

instead of this:

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

write

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

also place your .ttf file in fonts folder which you need to create in assets folder. – Shankar Agarwal May 25 '12 at 07:25
I think the user wants to use to two typeface and not single ttf. Bocz the data received is a like a mixture of English and Marathi. How does it help actually? – Andro Selva May 25 '12 at 08:12

What u actually need to do is create an xml link that contains the marathi words,and parse that xml link using json or sax parser..for creating the xml links,u need the support of a php developer.

Can i need to make two seperate webservices for this one for only English and another for MArathi? – Neha May 25 '12 at 07:19
