loader message not showing when switching the app to RTL

[doriobeidy7]

I have app in many languages but when the app is in RTL the loader isn't showing the loading message.

It was working correctly before updating to the latest version 1.4.2

I cannot reproduce this issue with the latest code.

I've tried forcing the LayoutDirection to RTL in the sample like:

case "Force RTL":
    Window.DecorView.LayoutDirection = Android.Views.LayoutDirection.Rtl;
    AndHUD.Shared.Show(this, "مرحبا العالم اختبار 123", -1, MaskType.Black, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
    break;

It seems to show up just fine:

Can you provide more information or better repro steps?

HI, I'm using acr.userdialogs and this package depend on andhud when i try to run the latest update the text and loader disappear it's only show the black square .

Tried in the ACR.UserDialogs sample too.

Added android:supportsRtl="true" in the manifest to the <Application> node.

Added the following in MainActivity:

Window.DecorView.LayoutDirection = Android.Views.LayoutDirection.Rtl;

Then adding in the ProgressViewModel:

new CommandViewModel
{
    Text = "RTL Progress",
    Command = new Command(async () =>
    {
        this.Dialogs.ShowLoading("مرحبا العالم اختبار 123");
        await Task.Delay(3000);
        this.Dialogs.HideLoading();
     })
}

Shows up just fine:

Did you by any chance add a layout called loading.axml, loadingprogress.axml or loadingimage.axml to your project? If so this will override what AndHUD comes with out of the box.

I need a better repro case from you in order to help you with this.

I am facing the same issue related to changing my app's language from LTR to RTL by changing the locale. I am using the following code to update the configuration :

string lang = "fa"; // this language is RTL like arabic
Locale locale = new Locale(lang);
Locale.Default = locale;
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.Locale = locale;
context.Resources.UpdateConfiguration(config, metrics: context.Resources.DisplayMetrics);

However, the loading screen is not displaying correctly, as shown in this screenshot:

When I change the locale to 'en', the loading screen displays correctly. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
