react-native-pager-view RTL is not working

Environment

Android 9, Samsung galaxy s8

Description

The RTL is working well on example project "BasicPagerViewExample.tsx" but it is not working when I install the package from npm.

Reproducible Demo

I created a sample project npx react-native init TestRTL --template react-native-template-typescript

And add the package yarn add react-native-pager-view

And the UI like that

<SafeAreaView style={backgroundStyle}>
  <StatusBar barStyle={isDarkMode ? 'light-content' : 'dark-content'} />
  <PagerView
    style={{width: '100%', height: '100%'}}
    initialPage={0}
    layoutDirection="rtl">
    <View key="1">
      <Text>First page</Text>
    </View>
    <View key="2">
      <Text>Second page</Text>
    </View>
  </PagerView>
</SafeAreaView>

As a work around from the latest version 5.4.11 I set layoutDirection to ltr It will work on RTL but animation is from the other side unfortunately

What’s your issue @ahmad6242 as for me android always worked.

Can you try doing the following in android.

In manifest add this android:supportsRtl="true" . In MainApplication.java add I18nUtil sharedI18nUtilInstance = I18nUtil.getInstance(); sharedI18nUtilInstance.allowRTL(this, true); This 2 lines of code but don’t forget to do this import at the top import com.facebook.react.modules.i18nmanager.I18nUtil; . Let me know if it works!
