How can i apply the proper image to the ImageView based on the application Locale?

Issue

Is there any way to have different images for different languages for an ImageView?

Imagine i have this two picture, first one is for a right to left language and second one is for an left to right language, how can i apply the proper image to the ImageView based on my application Locale?

  <ImageView
    android:id="@+id/message_icon"
    android:layout_width="@dimen/message_text_icon"
    android:layout_height="@dimen/message_text_icon"
    android:src="@drawable/sent_message_icon"
    android:padding="@dimen/padding_small"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"></ImageView>

Solution

Place normal image in the drawable-* folder rtl image in the drawable-ldrtl-* folder.

If you want to use single image:

Place <integer name="angle_rtl_180">0</integer> in values/integers

and

<integer name="angle_rtl_180">180</integer> in values-ldrtl/integers

then use rotationY attribute in the imageView as:

android:rotationY="@integer/angle_rtl_180"
