Solution 1:

Well, yes you can use .ttf files in Android Applications. Navigate to your Android project's src/main folder, make a new folder assets there and paste your .ttf file in it. You can place your font in the directory which supports your language. After that, you can use the font in an EditText like this:

// For Setting the typeface in the TextViewsTypefacexyzTypeFace= Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "xyz.ttf");
    TextViewtaglineTextView= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.taglineTextView);
    taglineTextView.setTextSize(25);
    taglineTextView.setTypeface(xyzTypeFace);

Thank you guys for your answers,

Finally, I solved the problem by using the following method..

publicstaticStringfixEncodingUnicode(String response) {
    String str = "";
    try {
        str = newString(response.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    String decodedStr = Html.fromHtml(str).toString();
    return  decodedStr;
}
