Android TableLayout: columns go from right to left on device, while on editor - from left to right

Question

I don't know what causing this issue:

on android studio editor

on actual device

as you can see, columns start from right instead of left.

please help!

thanks

Answer 1

Your device is probably set to a language or locale that reads Right to Left, instead of Left to Right. Meanwhile, your computer is set to a language or locale that reads Left to Right.

In such a case you will find the device automatically inverts your layout without you having to do any work to make it so.
