How to display text in telugu or any other indian language in an Android Application?

Question

I want to display text in an Android application. I have studied the localization API in Android. Regarding that API, I understood that we can display text in only international languages like Japanese, French, English etc.. But I have tried something like this.

I have copied Telugu text from Google and pastes it in the strings file. The issue is that the Telugu text is displayed in high-configuration Android mobiles, but not in low-configuration Android mobiles. Is there any alternate solution for displaying text in Telugu?

Simple. You just have to put in the TTF file in the assets folder, and it will show up on all the devices.
