Android – Display all Unicode chars in TextView

androidtextviewunicode

Is there any way to show all Unicode chars in my TextView, on my phone?

I have tried special characters like '\u0279' and I get something like box (default char).
Is this based on l10n and i18n settings?

Best Solution

tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
Typeface font= Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "TAU_BHON.TTF");
tv.setTypeface(font);

Place the font that will support your language in the assets folder.In this case i have used TAU_BHON.TTF

Android – How to center text horizontally and vertically in a TextView

I'm assuming you're using XML layout.

<TextView  
    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:layout_height="match_parent" 
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="@string/**yourtextstring**"
/>

You can also use gravity center_vertical or center_horizontal according to your need.

and as @stealthcopter commented in java: .setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);

Python – the best way to remove accents (normalize) in a Python unicode string

Unidecode is the correct answer for this. It transliterates any unicode string into the closest possible representation in ascii text.

Example:

accented_string = u'Málaga'
# accented_string is of type 'unicode'
import unidecode
unaccented_string = unidecode.unidecode(accented_string)
# unaccented_string contains 'Malaga'and is of type 'str'
