How to set the cursor to the right (EditText)?

Question

How to set the cursor to the right with right align and hint text?
Is it possible?

I have a AutoCompleteTextView and a EditText with Text right align and an hint text. Now if one of them is focused the curser is before the hint and not at the end of the line. So it looks like now it's bad...

I've also tried to set the cursor position, but it didn't help of course.

<AutoCompleteTextView
    android:id="@+id/input_snm"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_below="@+id/input_ipAdresse"
    android:ems="10"
    android:gravity="right"
    android:hint="@string/input_snm"
    android:imeActionLabel="@string/Button_berechnen"
    android:imeOptions="actionDone|flagNoExtractUi"
    android:inputType="phone"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/padding_small"
    android:textSize="@dimen/fontsize_medium" />

Ok, I think it's an System error, isn't it?

Answer 1

Set the android:Theme.Light style on the activity (theme) and android:gravity="right".

Answer 2

You can use like this:

if (your_edittext.getText().length() > 0 ) {
    your_edittext.setSelection(your_edittext.getText().length());
}

Can you add this line to your EditText xml

android:gravity="right"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"//you set this as you need

But when any Text writing you should set the paddingleft to zero

you should use this on addTextChangedListener
