What is RTL layout?

An RTL layout is the mirror image of an LTR layout, and it affects layout, text, and graphics. When a UI changes from one direction to another, these items are not mirrored: Numbers. Untranslated text (even if it's part of a phrase)

How can I support RTL?

First of all, you must add android:supportsRtl="true" to the <application> element in your manifest file for your app to supporting RTL design. Trick: If your app supports multiple languages and if you have code snippet like config. setLayoutDirection(Locale.US) you must change it.

How does RTL text work?
