How to display Persian(Farsi) numbers in views

Another way to show numbers with Persian font is the use of following Helper Class:

public class FormatHelper {    private static String[] persianNumbers = new String[]{ "۰", "۱", "۲", "۳", "۴", "۵", "۶", "۷", "۸", "۹" };    public static String toPersianNumber(String text) {        if (text.length() == 0) {            return "";        }        String out = "";        int length = text.length();        for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {        char c = text.charAt(i);        if ('0' <= c && c <= '9') {            int number = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(c));            out += persianNumbers[number];        }        else if (c == '٫') {            out += '،';        }        else {            out += c;        }        return out;    }}

Save this class as UTF8 format and use it like the following code

FormatHelper.toPersianNumber(numberString);

By using Typeface class the font type of a view can be changed to Farsi font so the numbers can be shown by Farsi fonts :

Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "FarsiFontName.ttf");myView.setTypeface(typeface);

set the locale to Arabic, Egypt

int i = 25;NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(new Locale("ar","EG"));nf.format(i);
