Android cursor in RTL languages

Question

I have problem with android input cursor in RTL languages. When I am in RTL support layout, I have two input cursor and it's really funny. Does it have real solution, for get rid of this?

I use this code to make my android UI RTL:

getWindow().getDecorView().setLayoutDirection(View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL);

And this my xml for text view:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
        android:id="@+id/input_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <EditText
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:inputType="numberDecimal"
            android:id="@+id/myID"
            android:maxLines="1"
            android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
            android:layout_weight="0.25"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:hint="phone Number"
            android:maxLength="20"
            android:gravity="center" />
    </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Answer 1

I solve the problem. Just make the edit text language left to right and problem is solved.

<EditText
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="number"
    android:ems="10"
    android:id="@+id/PhoneNoET"
    android:layout_marginTop="64dp"
    android:layout_below="@+id/textView6"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:textAlignment="center"
    android:maxLength="11" 
    android:layoutDirection="ltr"/>

Add the above layoutDirection to your Edit Text and fix the problem.

I resolved it using below..

In your xml layout, for edit text field add this-->

android:textDirection="anyRtl"

Here, "editText" is your view of edit text field. i.e,

EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_text); 

Then programatically add text watcher for that edit text.

editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
                @Override
                public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

                }

                @Override
                public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                    editText.setSelection(s.length()); // this line is very important for setting cursor position
                }

                @Override
                public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

                }
            });
        }

This worked for me!
