Android RTL layout Direction behavior

Question

I change my layoutDirection to RTL, but in both RTL and LTR direction getX() method return the same number. this method calculate X from left side of screen. How can I change the behavior of the layout to calculate X from the right of the screen ? thanks alot.

Answer 1

View system in android works independently from layout directions! which means ,in your case and any others cases, it works properly and calculates X and Y from top-left of the screen!

for your problem there is two approaches :

one calculate x from right of the screen with like below pseudo

screenWidth - getX()

two reverse your code to work with real X.
