  • What encoding is used when saving the horo_scop.txt file? Assuming that file contains the correct text you need to read it using the same encoding. – Squonk Aug 17 '14 at 07:17
  • Try setting the text on TextView instead of SysOut. And also for logging use Log.* classes. Quit use of SysOut and other java console streams. – Rohit Sharma Aug 17 '14 at 07:18
  • i dont encode when i save file , it enocde when i read it i do print it in textview – Mina Fawzy Aug 17 '14 at 07:27
  • @user3240583 : In order to store arabic characters a text file must use some form of encoding - a basic "plain text" file will only support ASCII characters. Whatever you're using to save it must be using one of the character-set encodings such as Unicode etc. It's most likely that whatever it's saved in, is not the same encoding as the one you're using to read it back. – Squonk Aug 17 '14 at 08:08
