You will need to download the arabic font(.ttf) and use the same. I am not sure this is the best way. — Raghunandan, Jul 03 '13 at 05:55
once i download arbic text and set it then can it print arbic and english text both? — PankajAndroid, Jul 03 '13 at 06:13
you will have to use two textviews i guess. i am not sure its the best way. So wait until someone posts a better idea. — Raghunandan, Jul 03 '13 at 06:15

You can try to convert the unicode to arabic type with a convertor online and then setText the view with arabic font. For tamil I had used TAB font so I downloaded the tab font and had put it in my assets folder and then in setTypeFace I used the font. You can try the arabic encoded string and the font.

String EncodedString = "Üî¢î¤ò£òñ¢ : "; // Your arab encoded string
Typeface tfTab = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/tabkovai.ttf"); // Replace with arab font
tab.setTypeface(tfTab);
TextView.setText(EncodedString);
