SfDatePicker & SfDateTimePicker popup position when android device main language is Arabic (RTL)

[Jacobs]

I have an issue with SfDatePicker & SfDateTimePicker when using Mode="Dialog" on devices with main language set to Arabic (RTL), the popup position is shifted to the right (hiding part of popup) not centered while if same device is set to English Language it works fine.

also i noticed if popup is opened and then you minmize the app then bring it again to front the position is centered instantly.

I have tested and found this issue on Android Emulators with Android 15 & Android 16

also on real devices like 

Samsung A24 Android 16

Samsung A16 Android 16

Samsung A72 Android 14

I am using latest Syncfusion.Maui.Toolkit v1.0.9, i hope you release a fix soon in the upcoming version

Any update?

Hi Jacobs,
Thanks for reaching out to us.

We have considered this behavior as a bug and are planning to address it in an upcoming .NET MAUI Toolkit release. We will notify you once the issue has been fixed and the corresponding release is available.

Additionally, could you please confirm whether you expect this fix to be included only in the Syncfusion MAUI Toolkit package, or if you also expect it to be available through the Essential Studio NuGet packages?

Thanks, and we look forward to your confirmation.

I hope you can fix it in all your packages

But i am currently using  maui toolkit v1.0.9 and i hope you can fix it in the upcoming release that is expected to be released at the end of this month

Hi Jacobs,
Thank you for your patience.

We regret to inform you that the Syncfusion MAUI Toolkit new version release schedule has been postponed from the end of April to mid-May. As a result, we will be able to provide an update for this issue once the fix is available in the MAUI Toolkit release.

As mentioned earlier, this fix will be available in the upcoming Essential Studio NuGet packages, which are expected to be rolled out on April 28, 2026.

We appreciate your understanding and patience in the meantime. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Hi Jacobs,

Thank you for your patience. We would like to inform you that the Essential Studio Weekly NuGet packages (v33.2.5) have been published in nuget.org with a fix for the issue, “SfPopup is positioned incorrectly on Android when the device language is Arabic (RTL).” Please let us know if you have any concerns.

Root cause of the issue: The popup’s coordinates were computed correctly but applied before the native overlay parent (WindowManager/decor view) was measured and had RTL mirroring and insets applied. As a result, calling SetX/SetY too early positioned the child view relative to a stale origin, causing a visual shift on the first open.

As we informed earlier, we are planning for MAUI Toolkit release by mid of May 2026. We will let you know once the toolkit release is rolled out with fix.

Regards,
Sowntharya J.
