I know this answer is too late but it can help someone in the future. I was struggling with it for some days but I found an easy solution. just set the country as the second parameter.because some countries use Arabic numeral and others use the so-called Hindu Numerals
Locale locale = new Locale(LanguageToLoad,"MA");//For Morocco to use 0123... or
Locale locale = new Locale(LanguageToLoad,"SA");//For Saudi Arabia to use ٠١٢٣... Answers 2
It is possible to set the locale for the individual TextView or elements that extend it in your app.
see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#setTextLocale(java.util.Locale) for more information
UPDATE
You can use the following method to parse the number to the locale you want
public static String nFormate(double d) { NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.ENGLISH); nf.setMaximumFractionDigits(10); String st= nf.format(d); return st; }
Then you can parse number to double again

Founded Here there is a complement so you don't have to change the hole code.
There's such issue in Google's bugtracker: Arabic numerals in arabic language intead of Hindu-Arabic numeral system
If particularly Egypt locale doesn't work due to some customer's issue(I can understand it), then you can format your string to any other western locales. For example:
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(new Locale("en","US")); //or "nb","No" - for Norway String sDistance = nf.format(distance); distanceTextView.setText(String.format(getString(R.string.distance), sDistance)); If solution with new Locale doesn't work at all, there's an ugly workaround:
public String replaceArabicNumbers(String original) { return original.replaceAll("١","1") .replaceAll("٢","2") .replaceAll("٣","3") .....; } (and variations around it with Unicodes matching (U+0661,U+0662,...). See more similar ideas here)
Upd1: To avoid calling formatting strings one by one everywhere, I'd suggest to create a tiny Tool method:
public final class Tools { static NumberFormat numberFormat = NumberFormat.getInstance(new Locale("en","US")); public static String getString(Resources resources, int stringId, Object... formatArgs) { if (formatArgs == null || formatArgs.length == 0) { return resources.getString(stringId, formatArgs); } Object[] formattedArgs = new Object[formatArgs.length]; for (int i = 0; i < formatArgs.length; i++) { formattedArgs[i] = (formatArgs[i] instanceof Number) ? numberFormat.format(formatArgs[i]) : formatArgs[i]; } return resources.getString(stringId, formattedArgs); } } .... distanceText.setText(Tools.getString(getResources(), R.string.distance, 24)); Or to override the default TextView and handle it in setText(CharSequence text, BufferType type)
public class TextViewWithArabicDigits extends TextView { public TextViewWithArabicDigits(Context context) { super(context); } public TextViewWithArabicDigits(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs); } @Override public void setText(CharSequence text, BufferType type) { super.setText(replaceArabicNumbers(text), type); } private String replaceArabicNumbers(CharSequence original) { if (original != null) { return original.toString().replaceAll("١","1") .replaceAll("٢","2") .replaceAll("٣","3") ....; } return null; } } I hope, it helps

The best and easy way to do is keep the number in all string file as it is , in all the localization strings. Or you need to translate each number string into numbers
