The best solution for android handwriting recognition is Thulika application and Thulika Trainer source code can be download from here

It is also avilable in google play. The advantages of using this code is.

• The code is easy to understand.
• it uses Encog neural network library.
• You can create your own character set using trainer application which is explained in the link
• Recognition is very fast (even in low memory device)

You have to note following while using thulika trainer

• download and use alpha.txt file from this link.you can edit this text file. otherwise it will not load the letters.
• Engine file should be renamed as E_enginename and put in to the engine folder before clicking load letter .
  eg : E_english.
