android EditText android:textDirection

I'd like to set an EditText to be LTR at all times, how do I do that? android:textDirection does seem to be the answer, i cant get the project to compile with that directive

Add these to your EditText:

android:gravity="left"
android:textDirection="ltr"

Note: android:textDirection requires API level 17

Adding \u202D (LTR OVERRIDE) to the beginning of the string does the trick
