EditText Hint doesn't appear in Arabic on Galaxy note 1 with Android ICS

I have an arabic hint in which I want to set in EditText that I am using in Dialog... it worked fine for many devices except Galaxy note 1 which has Android ICS.

Note

1 - I converted the language of phone to Arabic so it showed the Arabic hint.

2 - EditText on Activity screens worked fine but on a Dialog it doesn't show the hint in Arabic.

The XML EditText in layout is:

      <EditText
            android:id="@+id/editText1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="14dip"
            android:layout_marginRight="14dip"
            android:lines="1"
            android:inputType="textPassword" />

I tried to use, 

  android:ellipsize="end"

and

  android:ellipsize="start"

and

  android:singleLine="true"

and

  android:layout_gravity="" //top, center, right, left

But nothing solved the issue.

Anybody got the solution?

Solution

  • just try to insert this Unicode "\u0020" before your string and it will work.
