It sounds like you want to essentially disable RTL support in your app. To do this, go to your AndroidManifest.xml and add this attribute to the <application> tag:

<application
    android:supportsRtl="false"
    ...>

Note that this attribute exists by default, but is set to true (so you just need to change the value to false).

In your Xml while specifying margins for your views always use the attribute marginStart and marginEnd instead of marginLeft and marginRight.For more info on this refer this answer here.
