How can I write Persian language in Android Studio?

Question

I want to write Persian in Android Studio, but after typing Persian, Android Studio shows some strange characters. Of course it was right for about 3 months, but suddenly it's strange.

enter image description here

Are you sure this isn't just an encoding problem or that the font doesn't have glyphs for these characters (seeing how the tooltip can display it correctly)? What if you run the app – are they displayed correctly? — Ingo Bürk, Apr 26 '15 at 08:53
Hey @Cœur, just the title caught my eye on this. Sure, I saw it, thanks. — Salek, Aug 07 '19 at 12:30

In android studio 1.2 you should go to configure> settings> colors and fonts> font> use your scheme> uncheck show only monospaced fonts> and finally use tahoma font and apply and ok. Enjoy it!

In Android Studio go to settings--> editor--> font and colors--> font, check the "secondary font" checkbox and define a Farsi font from the list like "Nazanin". Also, uncheck the "show only monospaced font".

In android versions later than 3, you don't need anything but in earlier versions you must add Farsi.java to your app and in the code write text as follow:

MyTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.MyTextView);

Typeface tf = Farsi.GetFarsiFont(this);
MyTextView.setTypeface(tf);
MyTextView.setText(Farsi.Convert("سلام"));

you cann't write farsi text in xml files in earlier versions!!! so I suggest to use newer versions of android.

write your string in strings.xml file in values folder and in the layout file use it as @string/string_name". this is works for me in android studio 1.1.0 – Mahmoud Apr 26 '15 at 09:08

the very first line of your layout file must like this: – Mahmoud Apr 26 '15 at 09:19

the last thing that i can say is in your build.gradle add the following pice of code: android { ... compileOptions.encoding = 'UTF-8' – Mahmoud Apr 26 '15 at 09:41
