I'm following an online tutorial about Android Studio. But in the video clip, the instructor use textAlignment which is under textAppearance which is under textView under Attributes. In Design View. I looked on the developer website but couldn't find the answer. In my Android Studio 3.1.2, it stops with textStyle (B,I,Tt). I would like to add this function to my attributes.

To right align text in TextView in Kotlin Android, set android:textAlignment attribute with the value “viewEnd” in layout file, or programmatically set the textAlignment property of the TextView object with View.
android:gravity="center" for text center in TextView. android:gravity="center_horizontal" inner text if you want horizontally centered. android:gravity="center_vertical" inner text if you want vertically centered. android:layout_centerInParent="true" if you want TextView in center position of parent view.
To left align the text in this Textview through layout file, set the android:textAlignment attribute for the TextView to “viewStart”, as shown in the following activity_main. xml layout file.
So the gravity attribute specifies how to align the text inside the TextView layout_gravity specifies how to align/layout the TextView element itself.
You can not, there is no option for it but you can handle this by using "View All Attributes" -> "gravity". Click the text and then click the "View All Attributes" at the bottom of the options sidebar.
Then look for "gravity" or search. Then pick the options you want.
