Answer 1

For showing correct form of Persian characters use this solution.

Update

And for changing current resources that is loaded in your UI:

tf = Farsi.GetFarsiFont(this);

tvTitle01 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvTitle01);
tvTitle01.setTypeface(tf);
tvTitle01.setText(Farsi.Convert(tvTitle01.getText().toString()));
