When I use
locale = new Locale("ar");
the screen is mirrored in the right way.
In order to give the option to set the numeric system, i have to use the Locale.Builder() inserted with lollipop.
locale = new Locale.Builder().setLanguage("ar").setRegion("MA").setExtension(Locale.UNICODE_LOCALE_EXTENSION, "nu-latn").build();
The problem is that in this way the screen is not mirrored properly. There is a way, like an Extension, to set the rtl attribute?
