  1. Go to your "YourProjectFolder/app/src/main/res" folder, then
  2. Create a folder named "values-ur" folder in res folder
  3. Create file "strings.xml" inside values-ur
  4. Inside that strings.xml add your strings,eg:

"urdu_text" is your urdu strings.

In your Activity class take getString(R.string.text_one), and if you have a textview, textview.setText(getString(R.string.text_one));

You just required to have all text in urdu unicode. Android Activity, layouts supports urdu. sqlite3 also supports urdu.
