Question

I am developing an application. And i need to set the symbol of Indian rupee on text view which is set with the text as amount.

Symbol:

enter image description here

I am having the font or .TTF file of this in Assets/fonts folder.

And i tried to use it as :

Typeface typeFace_Rupee = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),fonts/Rupee_Foradian.ttf");
TextView tvRupee = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview_rupee_mlsaa);
tvRupee.setTypeface(typeFace_Rupee);

// Tried to set symbol on text view as follows.
tvRupee.setText("`");

As above setting font i got null pointer error.

In word file after choosing font and typing ` we got the symbol. but it is not working in android.

So what steps should i follow to do this...

Was it helpful?

Solution

Hi use this in Strings

For print rupee symbol: <string name="Rs">\u20B9</string>

For print Rs text: <string name="rs">\u20A8</string>

OTHER TIPS

Use \u20B9 if you want to print the Rupee Symbol
and
Use \u20A8 if you want to print "Rs"

use on Adapter

Viewholder.price.setText("Price: \u20B9"+dataAdapterOBJ.getPrice());

Try this, Instead of Rupee_Foradian.ttf use Rupee.ttf it will work. am getting currency symbol.

Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "font/Rupee.ttf");
textView1.setTypeface(tf);
textView1.setText("`");

Copy-paste the Unicode ₹ to XML or Java and it works just fine. For more info on the Unicode refer http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/20b9/index.htm

You can simply press Alt + Ctrl + 4

 public static String getIndianRupee(String value) {
    Format format = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(new Locale("en", "in"));
    return format.format(new BigDecimal(value));
}

Try this code snippet it's working fine in Xamarin.Forms

 CultureInfo india = new CultureInfo("hi-IN");

 var rupeeSymbol = india.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol;

you can go with the below line of code for Flutter

child: Text('\u20B9 ${tx.amount}',

In 2022, to set number into Indian currency with currency symbol Example:

double rupee = list.getAmount();
String x = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(new Locale("en","in")).format(rupee);

no need of any file etc, currency in Indian format that is comma after three digit from right with rupee symbol

Just simple write this code :

Text(
  '\u{20B9}${2880.0}',
  textAlign: TextAlign.start,
  style: TextStyle(
      color: const Color(0xFF000000),
      fontSize: 15.0,
      fontWeight: FontWeight.w300),
)
