   String getCurrentLocale = Locale.getDefault().getDisplayLanguage();
   

3. Then we should check which language is selected for RTL or LTR.

   if(getCurrentLocale.equalEgnoreCase("English")){          //LTR languages
   
         username.setGravity(Gravity.Left);
   
         password.setGravity(Gravity.Left);
   
    }else{                                                     //RTL languages
   
        username.setGravity(Gravity.Right);
   
        password.setGravity(Gravity.Right);
   
    }
