java - Disable automatic layout change on Android

Question

I've made an app, I've tested it and it was fine on my phone. But... when I gave the .apk to someone else whose phone language is RTL the whole layout broke and it messed up everything.

My question is - How can I force my app to use only LTR and disable the auto layout change which breaks my whole app design?

Answer 1

In your manifest file and inside the application tag add these two lines.

<manifest>
    <application
        .
        .
        .
        android:supportsRtl="false"
        tools:replace="android:supportsRtl" //(replace libraries' Rtl support with ours)
        >
    </application>
</manifest>

Note: (about second line) Some libraries have support Rtl in their manifest file so if you want to use those libraries you must replace their manifest line of code with yours.
