According to this comment it does not resolve the issue. |

@jfversluis This fix addresses the actual DrawString() flow direction issue reported in the original issue report. The scenario mentioned in this comment, the user involves the Syncfusion Text Input Layout, where the text drawing logic is implemented differently and handled within their own source. That particular issue is not related to the one being resolved here. |

Pull request overview
This PR fixes an Android-specific issue where Arabic text in GraphicsView incorrectly renders with RTL (right-to-left) flow direction, making it inconsistent with Windows, iOS, and macOS platforms which render it LTR (left-to-right). The fix modifies the Android text layout utilities to explicitly force LTR direction.
Key changes:
- Updated
TextLayoutUtils.CreateLayoutto useStaticLayout.BuilderwithSetTextDirection(TextDirectionHeuristics.Ltr)for Android API 23+, and prepend LRM character for older versions - Refactored
PlatformCanvas.DrawStringto use the centralizedTextLayoutUtils.CreateLayoutmethod - Added comprehensive UI test coverage with test page and visual regression snapshots across all platforms

- The
CreateLayoutForSpannedStringmethod does not apply the same LTR fix asCreateLayout. For consistency and to ensure all text rendering paths handle flow direction uniformly, this method should also:
- Use
StaticLayout.BuilderwithSetTextDirection(TextDirectionHeuristics.Ltr)for API 23+ - Prepend the LRM character (
\u200E) for older Android versions
This ensures that spanned strings (styled text) also render with LTR flow direction on Android.
public static StaticLayout CreateLayoutForSpannedString(SpannableString spannedString, TextPaint textPaint, int? boundedWidth, Layout.Alignment alignment)

int finalWidth = int.MaxValue;

TextDirectionHeuristics.Ltr(proper Android API 23+ path) - Centralized in
TextLayoutUtils.CreateLayout()— consistent with existing codebase patterns - Handles API level branching properly (Builder for 23+, LRM char for older)
- Behavior matches other platforms: Left alignment = LTR rendering
Notable Alternative: Attempt 2's forceLtr: horizAlignment == HorizontalAlignment.Left is semantically more precise (preserves natural bidi for Center/Right), but adds bool param complexity. The PR's unconditional approach is appropriate since the issue stems from the fundamental behavior difference between platforms (all other platforms default LTR for DrawString).

Summary
PR #29392 fixes a longstanding Android-specific bug where GraphicsView.DrawString() incorrectly renders Arabic text in RTL direction even when HorizontalAlignment.Left is specified. Android's StaticLayout auto-detects text direction from the first strong directional character (Arabic = RTL), while other platforms (Windows, iOS, Mac) honor the explicit alignment. This PR achieves cross-platform consistency by explicitly setting TextDirectionHeuristics.Ltr on the StaticLayout.Builder (API 23+) and prepending an LRM character for older APIs.
The fix is centralized in TextLayoutUtils.CreateLayout() and is accompanied by a UI test with visual regression snapshots across all 4 platforms. The PR has already been approved by a MAUI team member (kubaflo).
Root Cause
Android's StaticLayout determines paragraph direction by scanning for the first strong directional character in the text (Unicode Bidi Algorithm). For Arabic text (strong RTL), this overrides the Layout.Alignment.AlignNormal setting, causing the text to flow RTL regardless of the caller's HorizontalAlignment.Left intent. Other platforms either default to LTR or respect the explicit alignment parameter directly.
Fix Quality
Strengths:
- ✅ Uses the purpose-built
TextDirectionHeuristics.LtrAndroid API (API 23+) — not a hack - ✅ Proper API-level branching:
StaticLayout.Builderfor modern, LRM character for legacy - ✅ Centralized in
TextLayoutUtils.CreateLayout()— single point of control - ✅ Eliminates obsolete API warnings by refactoring
PlatformCanvas.DrawString() - ✅ UI test with screenshot snapshots on all 4 platforms
Minor Gaps (non-blocking):
⚠️ CreateLayoutForSpannedString()is not updated with the same LTR fix (Copilot reviewer flagged this as low confidence). Spanned/styled text would still auto-detect direction. This is a future improvement, not a blocker.⚠️ One unresolved nitpick comment on the LRM code comment (cosmetic, low priority)
Try-Fix Comparison:
| # | Source | Approach | Files | Simplicity | Semantic Correctness |

2 | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ |
| 1 | try-fix | LRM in PlatformCanvas for all API levels | 1 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐ (bypasses API 23+ builder) |

| 4 | try-fix | BidiFormatter + LRI/PDI for spanned; also fixes CreateLayoutForSpannedString |
1 | ⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ |
Selected: PR's fix — already team-reviewed, uses proper Android API, consistent with codebase patterns.
Best Alternative: Attempt 2 (forceLtr: horizAlignment == HorizontalAlignment.Left) is more semantically precise — only overrides direction for Left alignment, preserving natural bidi for Center/Right. Worth mentioning to the author as a potential refinement, but not a blocker.

Phase 1: Title & Description
✅ Title: Acceptable — Minor Improvement Suggested
Current: [Android] Fix for Automatic Flow Direction change in Graphics View
Recommended: [Android] GraphicsView: Fix Arabic text auto-RTL in DrawString when HorizontalAlignment.Left is set
The current title is functional but vague ("Fix for Automatic Flow Direction change"). The recommended version immediately communicates the root cause (Arabic auto-RTL), the affected API (DrawString), and the triggering condition (Left alignment) — making it far more searchable in git history.
✅ Description: Good — Only Minor Additions Needed

| NOTE block | ✅ Present | Correctly placed at the top |
| Root cause | ✅ Clear | Explains StaticLayout auto-detecting direction from first strong character |

Action: Description is good — keep as-is. No rewrite needed.
Phase 2: Code Review
🔴 Critical Issues
1. Fix unconditionally forces LTR regardless of alignment parameter
- File:
src/Graphics/src/Graphics/Platforms/Android/TextLayoutUtils.cs - Problem:
SetTextDirection(TextDirectionHeuristics.Ltr)is applied regardless of whatalignmentwas passed in. If a developer intentionally usesHorizontalAlignment.Rightwith Arabic text (expecting RTL layout within the bounds), this fix will silently break their rendering. The same concern applies to the\u200ELRM prefix on pre-API-23 — it forces LTR for all callers, not just left-aligned ones. - Recommendation: The text direction should ideally follow the requested alignment. When
alignment == Layout.Alignment.AlignNormal(LTR) orAlignOppositeis used by the caller after mapping fromHorizontalAlignment, set direction accordingly. At minimum, add a code comment documenting that this is a deliberate LTR-always decision and that RTL GraphicsView text rendering is not currently supported viaDrawString. The issue (Automatic Flow Direction Change for Arabic Strings in When Drawing the String in MAUI on Android and Opposite Behavior in Windows. #17323) specifically reports the problem with LTR-intended text, so forcing LTR globally is overly broad.
// Current — unconditional LTR:
.SetTextDirection(TextDirectionHeuristics.Ltr)
// Better — document the limitation or pass direction from caller:
// Note: We always enforce LTR here because StaticLayout auto-detects
// direction from the first strong character, overriding the caller's
// explicit alignment. RTL text direction via DrawString is not supported.
.SetTextDirection(TextDirectionHeuristics.Ltr)2. CreateLayoutForSpannedString has the same unfixed RTL issue
- File:
src/Graphics/src/Graphics/Platforms/Android/TextLayoutUtils.cs - Problem: The diff only updates
CreateLayout(). The existingCreateLayoutForSpannedString()method still uses the oldStaticLayoutconstructor without a text direction heuristic, meaning ArabicSpannableStringtext will still auto-detect RTL. This inconsistency leaves a parallel code path unfixed. - Recommendation: Apply the same API 23+ / fallback pattern to
CreateLayoutForSpannedString, or document why it's intentionally excluded.
🟡 Suggestions
3. Missing newline at end of file
- File:
src/Graphics/src/Graphics/Platforms/Android/TextLayoutUtils.cs - The diff clearly shows
\ No newline at end of file. This should be corrected — it's flagged by most linters and causes spurious diffs in future changes.
4. LRM character prepended modifies the rendered string
- File:
src/Graphics/src/Graphics/Platforms/Android/TextLayoutUtils.cs, pre-API-23 path text = "\u200E" + text;prepends a Unicode character before rendering. While\u200Eis a zero-width directional mark with no glyph, it does affect text width measurement in some edge cases (e.g.,GetTextSizeextension). Consider whether this could subtly affect callers that callGetTextSize()on the resulting layout.
5. Indentation inconsistency in pre-API-23 path
- File:
src/Graphics/src/Graphics/Platforms/Android/TextLayoutUtils.cs - The
new StaticLayout(...)arguments inside theelseblock use 3-space leading indentation (text,) instead of the standard 4-space tabs used throughout the file. This should be made consistent.
6. UI test uses VerifyScreenshot() without retryTimeout
- File:
src/Controls/tests/TestCases.Shared.Tests/Tests/Issues/Issue17323.cs VerifyScreenshot()is called immediately afterWaitForElement. A GraphicsView may still be in the middle of its first draw pass when the element becomes accessible. AddingretryTimeoutis the recommended defensive pattern:
// Current:
VerifyScreenshot();
// Recommended:
VerifyScreenshot(retryTimeout: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2));✅ Looks Good
- Good refactoring:
PlatformCanvas.DrawString()now delegates toTextLayoutUtils.CreateLayout(), eliminating a duplicateStaticLayoutconstruction and the associated#pragma warning disableblocks. - Proper API version guard:
OperatingSystem.IsAndroidVersionAtLeast(23)is the correct MAUI pattern for conditional Android API usage. - Fallback for old API: The LRM (
\u200E) approach for API < 23 is a practical workaround for devices that predateStaticLayout.Builder. - UI tests added: Screenshot-based UI test covers all four platforms with correct category (
UITestCategories.GraphicsView), correct[Issue]attribute, and references the rightAutomationId. - NOTE block present in the PR description — users can test the artifacts.
- Before/after screenshots in the PR description make the fix visually clear.
