How to display Persian(Farsi) numbers in views

Question

I want to display Persian(Farsi) numbers on views. For example I calculated a date and converted it to Jalali calendar but how can I display it by Persian numbers?

Answer 1

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);
