The RTL value (true or false) is included in the flags in getApplicationInfo.flags.

As a long shot - is it possible that you are somehow changing the value?

The ability to set RTL was added in Android 4.2 if you are supporting this OS level or higher, this will be easier for you to accomplish.

Proof it is 4.2+: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/actionbarsherlock/-npidM2Eo0w Google post outlining how to change to RTL: https://plus.google.com/+AndroidDevelopers/posts/HuHNSb8V7s8

Otherwise, I would reference the SO question already pointed to in another comment if you are supporting an OS level older than 4.2: How to handle RTL languages on pre 4.2 versions of Android?
