I'm trying to make an app in Arabic Language for Android 2.2. I write a text to code such as: البُرتُقال نوع من أنواع الحمضيات وهو مصدر ممتاز لفيتامين سي ويساعد فيتامين (سي) في البرتقال على امتصاص الكالسيوم في الجسم ، كما يحتوي أيضا على فيتامين أ كما أنه مصدر it is displayed as below: I mean the letters come separately, and that causes the meaning differences. How can I make the letters display connected? Edit : Yes 4.0 has the support for Arabic. Now I have to find a way for 2.2, because the product that I use, runs with 2.2. And I can't implement 4.0 to it easyly. Do you have any suggestion for that?

The same text on android.

I mean the letters come separately, and that causes the meaning differences. How can I make the letters display connected?

I found an issue report about Arabic language support. There was a post just 10 hours ago, that Android 4.x adds improved support for reading and writing BiDi text such as Arabic!
