Arabic & English text problem in Galaxy S and Nexus S in TextView

Question

With a TextView with right gravity when I write a mix of English and Arabic texts, some English texts are moved to the right of the TextView and are not shown.

This may be because of some sort of arabizer in Samsung.

Any suggestions to fix that?

Answer 1

RTL language support is only partially implemented in Android 2.3. This may be one of the limitations. Try it in a 2.3 emulator (to see if this is specific to Samsung, as you suggest) and a 3.0 emulator (to see if this has been improved).
