Answer 1

in your AndroidManifest.xml, add the following line to the application node's attributes:

android:supportsRtl="false"

Your final code should look like this

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.app">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="false"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

    ...

    </application>

</manifest>
