You dont need to make any Edit Text for displaying hindi font...

EditText support unicode format.. just make a string hindi unicode and set the text of EditText with the string as simple it is... I did it for displaying Chinese Font .. It works grt.. You just need to know the Unicode of hindi characters

for e.g

String s = " \u4E01 \u4E02";

EditText t = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.EditText01);

t.setText(s);
