Override right-to-left in layouts

Question

I have developed an application where everything is laid out left-to-right in its layouts and views. The issue is when I change the language in settings to Persian, a right-to-left language, everything changes to right-to-left. How can I override this change to prevent it from happening?

Answer 1

as mentioned in this post: Override supportsRtl in one of the layouts

you have to set

android:layoutDirection="ltr"

Answer 2

you simply need to write this line inside the application Tag of your projects manifest

 android:supportsRtl="false"

Answer 3

You can specify android:toLeftOf instead of android:toStartOf, and so forth if you are using RelativeLayout. Then the view is forced to the left regardless of locale
