You must download .ttf(true type font)file for hindi and create folder name as fonts in your project asset folder and paste hindi_font_file.ttf file in your asset under fonts folder and refer and set font face in your textview like below code:

Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/hindi_font_file.ttf");               
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.yourtextview);
tv.setTypeface(tf);
tv.setText("हिंदी");
