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. > http://w3-03.ibm.com/globalization/page/publish/4353 > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
