Custom Layout for right-to-left languages in Android -

i have custom layout extend viewgroup class, how can modify layout programmatically in order support right-to-left languages e.g. arabic, farsi, etc. means reversing order of layout's items or mirroring ?

there no need programmatically starting android api 17 (4.2 think), can define dynamically items on screen according device locale.

it should this:

<textview      android:layout_width="match_parent"      android:layout_height="wrap_content"      android:drawableleft="@drawable/profile_settings_list_options"      android:drawablepadding="28dp"      android:drawablestart="@drawable/profile_settings_list_options"      android:gravity="start"      android:paddingbottom="16dp"      android:paddingleft="28dp"      android:paddingstart="28dp"      android:paddingtop="16dp"      android:textcolor="@color/gray_dark3"      android:textsize="@dimen/text_size_small2" />
