for example :
if feed (XML) contain 007 it WILL displayed as 700..

Android doesn't officially support RTL languages.
Have a look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2584245/android-rtl-support-digits-embedded-in-a-right-to-left-sentence-hebrew
I'm re-posting my own answer:
"Try presenting your text in a webkit control, its RTL support works fine, as long as the HTML code is tagged appropriately."
Hope that helps you too.
I don't have enough rep to reply to the comments on @Vitalyb's answer, but I have used this solution and it works great. You just need to use a webview, and load it with html text. There are plenty of code samples available on the Android dev sites.
my final solution was:
add a charset=utf-8
public static String BuildHtml(String _HtmlString)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("<html>");
sb.append("<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
charset=utf-8\">");
sb.append("<body style=\"direction:rtl;\">");
sb.append(_HtmlString.trim());
sb.append("</body>");
sb.append("</html>");
return sb.toString();
}
then calling it just before loadData..
myWebview.loadData(BuildHtml(mytext), "text/html", "utf-8");
I will glad to hear about (light) simple solution then that,for using a TextView instead of WebView..
thanks
