Forcing the app to work as LTR

Question

I currently own Galaxy Note 4 with RTL in my language, and whenever I run my app it works from right to left while the app is English.

I need to some kind of "force" the app to be LTR in all kind of devices, RTL and LTR.

How I can force it?

Answer 1

Add in styles.xml in your Base App theme style:

<item name="android:layoutDirection">ltr</item>

Exemple:

  <!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="android:screenOrientation">portrait</item>
    <item name="android:layoutDirection">ltr</item>
</style>
