    <p>I've got an Arabic Android application, and here is the XML code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/greygradientbackground"&gt; &lt;ImageView android:id="@+id/logo" android:layout_width="150dp" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:scaleType="centerCrop" android:layout_margin="5dp" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/title" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="16sp" android:textColor="#000000" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|right" android:gravity="right" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/logo"/&gt; &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>The problem is that android:gravity works on some Android models and on others don't.</p> <p>To be more specific, I've tested the app on many 2.3.3 android devices and the Arabic text is aligned right. However on other 2.3.3 devices the Arabic text is aligned left (which is wrong).</p> <p>When I changed android:gravity="right" to android:gravity="left" the problem shifted from the second group of devices to the first.</p> <p>So my question is how can I solve this issue especially that as far as I know there aren't a way to localize layouts based on a device model number.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for any guidance because am totally lost. :(</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>I searched about "How to align Arabic correctly on all Android versions?" but found nothing working on all my testing devices. Any suggestions please? I am sure there is a best practice approach for aligning Arabic text on Android.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 2:</strong></p> <p>I tried to use a WebView instead of a TextView to align Arabic correctly using CSS styles. However, the Arabic text is showing in the WebView as strange characters.</p> <p>Here is the Code:</p> <pre><code>mWebView.loadData("&lt;html dir=\"rtl\"&gt;الأسم&lt;body&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;", "text/html", "UTF-8"); </code></pre> <p>The strange thing is that Arabic websites text is displayed correctly. So, what's the problem? :(</p>
