Display rupee symbol through xml lines not working

Question

I use the following string entry in the strings.xml file to display the rupee symbol.

<string name="current_amount">"Balance: &#x20B9;%.2f"</string>

It displays a square, not the actual character on Android 2.2.

Please, help.

PS: I am testing it on an emulator for Android 2.2, I do not have a 2.2 device.

Answer 1

[EDIT] Working soul for Android 2.2

Well, how can you make it work. You will need to download the font Rupee_Foradian.ttffrom here and put it in a folder assets.

Then put this line in a file strings.xml

<string name="rs">`</string>

And finally install Typeface with this code:

TextView t = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
Typeface face = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Rupee_Foradian.ttf");
t.setTypeface(face);
t.setText("Balance " + getResources().getString(R.string.rs));
