Proper support for RTL languages was added in Android 4.1 (and Android 4.2): http://android-developers.blogspot.co.il/2013/03/native-rtl-support-in-android-42.html

There are custom ROMs that handle right to left languages. However the behavior is not consistent.

Seems like the ROM on this device flips the gravity. I guess that it tries to "mirror" the layout.

is it possible to check if the label is set to left or right?

i can put an option that the user can change gravity?
for all labels in activity, from right to left?

You can check the Gravity property. Though it will probably report the value you set it.


You can set the gravity of all labels. See Activity.GetAllViewsRecursive.

thank you erel for your help

if i have labels in panels to i need to do "panel1.GetAllViewsRecursive" for all my panels?
or "Activity.GetAllViewsRecursive" will also do the job for labels in panels?

Activity.GetAllViewsRecursive will iterate over all the views in the activity (including the panels views).
