🎨 Palette: Force LTR on network strings for RTL support#130
🎨 Palette: Force LTR on network strings for RTL support#130manupawickramasinghe wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Added `android:textDirection="ltr"` to the IP Address and Repository URL TextViews in fragment_camera.xml. This ensures technical strings are not mangled by OS bidirectional algorithms when the application is rendered in Right-to-Left (RTL) locales. Also documented this learning in .Jules/palette.md.

💡 What:
Added
android:textDirection="ltr"to the IP address and external repository URL TextViews infragment_camera.xml.🎯 Why:
When an app supports RTL locales, the Android OS bidirectionality algorithms can mangle technical network strings that include neutral punctuation like periods, colons, or slashes (e.g., rendering
0.0.0.0:8080/cam.mjpegincorrectly ascam.mjpeg/8080:0.0.0.0). Forcing the reading direction to LTR specifically for these views prevents text mangling and guarantees readability and copy-paste accuracy for all users, regardless of their device's language settings.📸 Before/After:
(Visual changes apply only to RTL locales where network addresses would otherwise appear scrambled.)
♿ Accessibility:
Improves accessibility for users of Right-to-Left (RTL) languages by ensuring critical network and URL strings remain structurally sound and properly readable by both sighted users and screen readers.
