1- You need update add: android:supportsRtl="true" on manifest on application tag

<application
...
android:supportsRtl="true"
...>

2- Add textDirection in your textView

android:textDirection="ltr"

Use android:textDirection with "anyRtl".

  • From xml: Add this line: android:textDirection="anyRtl" to your TextView tag.

  • From code: textview.setTextDirection(View.TEXT_DIRECTION_ANY_RTL);

PS: Since API 17+.
