Kotlin Activity changes writing order from left to right to right to left (Phone w/ different language)

I have a Kotlin project in Android Studio and I developed a simple app...

My real device is in a different language so when I run the app on my device all the activity is stuck to the right (like you write in Hebrew...) I want to keep the order left to right (like in English and won't change based on the phone's language)

Thanks!

Solution

  • In the android Manifest file make sure to Disable RTL:

    <application
    android:supportsRtl="false"

    This disables the Right to Left feature for your app, so if the setting is on in your device settings the app will not change.
