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?

  • Have you been using "start" and "end" tags in your Layouts instead of "left" and "right"? This will cause the behavior you described. – Matei Radu Jan 06 '17 at 13:02

  • If you want to disable Right to Left layout support then set android:supportRtl="false" in application tag of your manifest and if you want to support Right to Left layout then follow the instructions of Matei Radu. – Usman Rana Jan 06 '17 at 13:05

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

 android:supportsRtl="false"

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
