How to install gujarati for textview in android application?

Question

I want to create an application in which I need to show text in gujarati.

I tried using

Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "G-SARAL1.TTF"); text.setTypeFace(tf); 

but it doesn’t work, I set the gujarati text in the string.xml file and then set this string in the text view, but when I run the application, it displays square fields instead of the gujarati character,

can someone help me how can i implement this task.

Answer 1

Since the gujarati and hindi languages ​​are not supported by Android, you can still provide this support for your application.

For Gujarati, copy the file C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\Shruti.TTF to your resource folder. Then use the following code.

  TextView text_view = new TextView(this); Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Shruti.TTF"); text_view.setTypeface(font); text_view.setText("ગુજરાતી"); 

Shruti.TTF File is for Gujarati font. Similarly, you can add hindi file support.

Try this code, it will work

 TextView mtxt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.action_settings); Typeface face1 = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Lohit-Gujarati.ttf"); mtxt.setTypeface(face1); mtxt.setText("પૂર્વ વડાપ્રધાન રાજીવ ગાંધીની હત્યા કરનારા 3 આરોપીઓની ફાંસીની સજા સુપ્રિમ કોર્ટે ઉમ્રકેદમાં ફેરવી નાંખી છે.આમ રાજીવગાંધીના" + "3 હત્યારાઓને હવે ફાંસીની સજા નહી થાય.સુપ્રીમ કોર્ટમાં 3 જજોની બેન્ચે આજે આ ચુકાદો આ");

You can download Montserrat fonts, this font is used for English and Gujarati . If you do not want to download sacred fonts, then you can use this. You can make the base text and you can create a method as shown below and use fonts. One more thing you have to convey

  fun setFonts(context: Context, fontName: String) { val typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.assets, fontName) setTypeface(typeface) } 

To create a localized string file, you can also use the Translation Editor .
