I assume that the problem here is that the text is not shown right-to-left. You should try using the Bidi class, or by specifying the following in your XML:

<EditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:id="@+id/editText1" android:gravity="right">/EditText>

Copy the ttf file to the assets folder in your android project folder..Then set the typeface of the textview in the code.
