Android Question How to make editbox input language friendly ?

[Addo]

When I change the language of typing to none english characters as example arabic the typing direction should change from left to right is there possibility to adjust this in some way ?

Try it with this line in the manifest editor:

SetApplicationAttribute(android:supportsRtl, "true")

Make sure that targetSdkVersion is 17+

sadly it doesn't makes the right to left behavior still typing in one direction in both languages arabic and english

AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="26"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
    android:normalScreens="true"
    android:smallScreens="true"
    android:anyDensity="true"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:supportsRtl, "true")
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Themes.DarkTheme)

This should work:

EditText1.Gravity = 8388611  'Gravity.START

Which OS version are you using? I've tested it on Android 8 and it works properly. It is possible that it will not work properly on older versions.
