Force RTL layout direction not working

Question

I am trying to add RTL support in my app where layout direction should also change to RTL on force setting to RTL.

I have followed:

Set minSdkVersion to 19 , Added android:supportsRtl="true" to application tag in AndroidManifest.xml, Switched left/right attributes to start/end

Followed this link.

However, even when I use the "Force RTL Layout Direction", my app doesn't display the RTL layout. The system UI is flipped to RTL, and other apps also support RTL.

Is there anything else that need to be done?

Answer 1

in manifest.xml add android:supportsRtl="true" in tag

and in every activity add this line in onCreate method

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