Version used: androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0-rc01 (or 28.0.0-rc01)
Theme used: Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar or Theme.MaterialComponents
Devices/Android versions reproduced on: irrelevant. (Tested on Nokia 8 Android 8.1, Nokia 7 Plus Android P beta 04)

I'm testing the method AppCompatTextView.setTextFuture but I realized, it didn't support layout direction (android:layoutDirection="rtl") from righ to left (RTL) or on a device has the system language shows from RTL as the Arabic language, even I removed the attr android:layoutDirection="rtl". The app will crash. Please test again.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Given text can not be applied to TextView.

As a workaround using reflection

try {
    Class
        .forName("androidx.compose.material3.TabRowKt")
        .getDeclaredField("ScrollableTabRowMinimumTabWidth").apply {
            isAccessible = true
        }.set(this, 0f)
} catch (e: Exception) {
    e.printStackTrace()
}

Yes. textView.layoutDirection = textView.layoutDirection(>= API17) or ViewCompat.setLayoutDirection(textView, ViewCompat.getLayoutDirection(textView)) will resolve this bug.

But I think you should handle it in the AppcompatTextView. It is better. If a developer forgets testing with RTL. I think this is the nightmare(it is difficult to determine the bug) when they update their app on the Play Store.

I read this article, in the part databing he noted about set the direction

https://medium.com/google-developers/prefetch-text-layout-in-recyclerview-4acf9103f438'

fun asyncText
..........
// first, set all measurement affecting properties of the text
// (size, locale, typeface, direction, etc)

But in the offical document isn't good (lack direction)

https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appcompat/widget/AppCompatTextView.html#setTextFuture(java.util.concurrent.Future%3Candroidx.core.text.PrecomputedTextCompat%3E)

Anything layout related property changes, text size, typeface, letter spacing, etc after this method call will causes IllegalArgumentException during View measurement.

My view: Handling this in the AppcompatTextView is the best choice if you can do it.

Thanks!

I think should handle setLayoutDirection in the AppcompatTextView when setTextFuture, it will simpler for dev when implement TextFuture.
