This is the code that I used, but every time I turn it on, I need to stop. note that i use it on android 2.1

package com.arb;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.content.res.AssetManager;
import android.graphics.Typeface;

public class arabi extends Activity
{
AssetManager arabi_font;

TextView tx;


    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
tx=(TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.tt);

try{

arabi_font.open("DejaVuSans.ttf");

//DejaVuSans.ttf font file

Answer 1

Try this, I just recode a few lines, I believe that it works ...

try{

   //arabi_font.open("DejaVuSans.ttf");

   //DejaVuSans.ttf font file

   tx.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"DejaVuSans.ttf"));
   tx.setText("\uFEB3\uFE92\uFE98\uFE94");
}
catch(Exception ex){
}
