Is there a way to identify RTL (right-to-left) language, apart from testing language code against all RTL languages?
Since API 17+ allows several resources for RTL and LTR, I assume, there should be a way, at least from API 17.

You can check your app in RTL mode by doing one of two things. Select one of the RTL languages as your device language. Or from Developer Options in Settings , check Force RTL layout Direction .
android.util.LayoutDirection. A class for defining layout directions. A layout direction can be left-to-right (LTR) or right-to-left (RTL). It can also be inherited (from a parent) or deduced from the default language script of a locale.
To force right-to-left layouts on your Android device you need to open Settings, and access the Developer options menu (if developer options aren't enabled, here's how to do it). Once you've accessed the menu, scroll down to find the “Force RTL layout direction” tab. Tap on it to activate the option, and you're done.
Get it from Configuration.getLayoutDirection():
Configuration config = getResources().getConfiguration(); if(config.getLayoutDirection() == View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL) { //in Right To Left layout } If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
