RTL

Support for right-to-left (RTL) layouts in Litho follows a similar pattern to Android's RTL support. In order to make your component RTL-ready, simply use the START and END variants of padding and margin parameters instead of LEFT and RIGHT. All the rest will be handled by the layout system automatically.

For example, here's a

Column.create(c)

.paddingDip(START, 10)

.marginDip(END, 5)

.child(...)

.child(...)

.build();

The layout system will automatically follow the layout direction defined by Android's resource system. You can also make absolute positions RTL-aware by using the analogous start/end variants for position attributes:

Image.create(c)

.drawableRes(R.drawable.my_image)

.positionType(ABSOLUTE)

.positionDip(START, 10)

.build();

In the example above, the image component will be automatically placed 10 pixels from the right edge of its parent when RTL is enabled.
