             Summary: Cordova dialogs should support BIDI text
                 Key: CB-7499
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7499
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Android, Plugin Dialogs
    Affects Versions: Master
            Reporter: Mike Billau
            Assignee: Mike Billau
            Priority: Minor


Since API 19, Andorid has had the facilities to deal with bidirectional text, however, current Cordova notification implementation does not correctly handle bidirectional text in dialogs.

We can see this is the case by first setting the language to Hebrew and then launching the following dialogs:

    navigator.notification.confirm("Pure English !!!", function(){}, "7"); 
    navigator.notification.confirm("עברית היא שפה מדוברת בIsrael !", function(){}, "8");

Since we are in Hebrew, the base text direction will be RTL. 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.

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.
