How to position the shortcut from right to left instead of left to right according to the selected language?

Question

I have a multilingual application. which is great for the app, is in English, and all the shortcuts are located perfectly in the required places.

Now I have a script, when I change the language from English to Arabic, the application correctly translates. But the problem is label placement, I want to put labels from rtl instead of ltr.

For API level 17 or higher Set the property textDirectionin XML

android:textDirection="anyRtl"

For lower level API 17, use the property textAlignmentin XML

android:textAlignment="viewStart"

Answer 3

To support RTL in your application, you first need to add android:supportsRtl="true"to the element <application>in the manifest file.

If application API ≥ 17, replace all

layout_marginLeft with layout_marginStart

layout_marginRight with layout_marginEnd

paddingLeft with paddingStart

paddingRight with paddingEnd

and if your application supports API <17 add layout_marginStart, layout_marginEndalong with layout_marginLeft,layout_marginRight
