Programmatically set text alignment in a TextView

Question

In my app, I have a button that creates a TextView with a certain message. How can I set the text alignment of the text to the right of the TextView? I see the attribute in XML, but I don't know how to do it in java.

Answer 1

In Kotlin you can use something like the below,

 val textView = TextView(context)
 textView.apply {
     layoutParams = TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                                    TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)
     textAlignment = View.TEXT_ALIGNMENT_VIEW_START
 }

Answer 2

Try using

textView.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT)

Answer 3

You can set textview's gravity using

textLabel.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER | Gravity.BOTTOM);
