Put your font in assets folder, then create new Typeface from it

Here is an example

TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.custom_font);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "SomeFont.ttf");
txt.setTypeface(font);

First of all put your fonts in assests folder in your project. then in textview in java file where you want to put marathi, use this code:

Typeface mfont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "roboto_light.otf");
<your Textview>.setTypeface(mfont);

Download marathi fonts and save it in assests folder and set typeface using that font.

Sample:

TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview);
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssests(), "name_of_font.ttf");
textView.setTypeface(tf);

you need to pass unicode character like\u... to you textview text.

you can use converter to convert the language. Or can take a look http://www.unicodeonline.com/ For getting the exact value you can pass your unicode into ResourceBundle.getBundle(unicodestoragelocation,locale).getString(UnicodeValue)
