change your eclipse editor to use utf-8 encode first

You doesn't mention the error in your code, I assume that the problem with encoding. In this case you can change the text encoding to UTF-8 by the following step.

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

you have to change you eclipse encoding to utf-8 under the preference section, also very importantly you have to add that malay font in the assets folder of your app. here's a link to get the font http://malayalam.indiatyping.com/index.php/download-malayalam-font
