I've a text view. in onCreate I set its text to be:

textView.setText(DateUtils.formatElapsedTime(162)) // 162 seconds

Because the app is in arabic, its date is written as: "٠٢:٤٢" while I would like to set it in ENGLISH. How to show this number in english without letting Android change it to arabic? I'm trying to use Locale.US somehow.

at your `formatElapsedTime ` use `Locale.setDefault(Locale.ENGLISH);` – Anwar Elsayed Apr 11 '21 at 18:54
How? formatElapsedTime receives 1 long parameter(long elapsedSeconds) OR 2 parameters(StringBuilder recycler, long elapsedSeconds) – Maor Cohen Apr 13 '21 at 07:34
