This way you can use Hindi font in Android.

Step 1: Add All Hindi text in res --> values --> string.xml file

<resources>
<string name="app_name">गन्ने से समृद्धि</string>
<string name="ganne_ki_kheti">गन्ने  की  खेती</string>
<string name="sampark">संपर्क</string>

Step 2: In layout xml file add text tag as android:text="@string/your_text". For Example see below.

<TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_marginTop="32dp"
        android:text="@string/ganne_ki_kheti"
        android:textSize="32sp"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

First of all download hindi font, d the OTF/TTF file you get, save that in asset folder, eclipse has already the folder, if you are using android studio, then make a new folder in project/app/src/main.

Then in java file, suppose you have to apply your font on TextView t1, use the code..

Typeface mytypeface= Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"font-file_name.TTF");
t1.setTypeface(mytypeface);

Set The Hindi Font on TextView in Android

 TextView t = new TextView(this);
 Typeface Hindi = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/mangle.ttf");
 t.setTypeface(Hindi);
 t.setText("Naveen Tamrakar");

You can download hindi fonts from http://hindi-fonts.com and copy it in /system/font directory of your phone. The font will be installed.

Create a folder in assets as "fonts". Place your .ttf file of font in that.

then try the code as :

Typeface fontHindi = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/font.ttf");
tv.setTypeface(fontHindi);

It works for me. Hope it works for you too.
