RTL support

[adek]

Have you been thinking about adding support for RTL (Right-to-Left) languages? I'm using your library and it's great. Now my users wanted support for RTL languages (Arabic etc...). The FAB from Google Support Deisign library is working great here. If you are using RTL language on your phone the FAB is on the left.

Your library is always showing button on the right side (which is wrong).

Or maybe I miss something. Settings layout_gravity is not working.

The problem is with FAB with menu.

Did you try to change "fab:menu_labels_position" value on your layout : By defaulft, it's left but if you change the value to right (fab:menu_labels_position="right"), that's solve your problem, no?

@jndefosse No. Not at all. Layout should use these features: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2013/03/native-rtl-support-in-android-42.html

If you try to create layouts for RTL languages you'll see how this works.

FAB from Design Support Library works great.

I think that this should be part of the library. If users is using RTL layout FAB should be moved by default to let.

I set app:menu_labels_position="right" and app:layout_anchor="@id/vpPager" app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom | left | start"

and everything is right in RTL language.

simple fix in FloatingActionMenu i put this

public static boolean isRTL() {
        return isRTL(Locale.getDefault());
    }

    public static boolean isRTL(Locale locale) {
        final int directionality = Character.getDirectionality(locale.getDisplayName().charAt(0));
        return directionality == Character.DIRECTIONALITY_RIGHT_TO_LEFT ||
                directionality == Character.DIRECTIONALITY_RIGHT_TO_LEFT_ARABIC;
    }

then in init

if (isRTL()) {
            mLabelsPosition = attr.getInt(R.styleable.FloatingActionMenu_menu_labels_position, LABELS_POSITION_RIGHT);
        } else {
            mLabelsPosition = attr.getInt(R.styleable.FloatingActionMenu_menu_labels_position, LABELS_POSITION_LEFT);
        }

You can add to integer resources value with the position. LTR languages:

<resources>
    <integer name="fab_menu_position">0</integer>
</resources>

RTL languages:

<resources>
    <integer name="fab_menu_position">1</integer>
</resources>

then in FloatingActionMenu: app:menu_labels_position="@integer/fab_menu_position"
