-------------------------------
Summary: Cordova dialogs should support BIDI text
Key: CB-7499
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7499
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Android, Plugin Dialogs
Affects Versions: Master
Reporter: Mike Billau
Assignee: Mike Billau
Priority: Minor
Since API 19, Andorid has had the facilities to deal with bidirectional text,
however, current Cordova notification implementation does not correctly handle
bidirectional text in dialogs.
We can see this is the case by first setting the language to Hebrew and then
launching the following dialogs:
navigator.notification.confirm("Pure English !!!", function(){}, "7");
navigator.notification.confirm("עברית היא שפה מדוברת בIsrael !",
function(){}, "8");
Since we are in Hebrew, the base text direction will be RTL. This means that
when we see the second notification with the Hebrew text, it will be
right-justified. When we click and see the "Pure English !!!" notication,
because locale is RTL, we should expect to see: "!!! Pure English" and it
should be right-justified, however, we still see "Pure English !!!", left
justified.

Ideally you should be able to just add android:supportsRtl="true" to the
manifest, however, this is doesn't seem to ne enough without setting the text
direction to the locale for all of the dialogs.
