Answer 1

Try setting this Akshar.ttf font to your TextView through setTypeface, it suuports both English and Tamil.

Here is the outcome:

Or, look for a similar font which supports both language.

your second solution is to use image for this small Tamil text portion using SpannableStringBuilder.

Code for setting custom font to TextView:

Assuming you have the Akshar.ttf font in fonts folder under assets folder:

 Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/Akshar.ttf");               
    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.CustomFontText);
    tv.setTypeface(tf);
    tv.setText("Seasonal messages like welcome (???????) is used in Kolam. Volunteering to draw kolam at temple is sometimes done when a devotee's");
