String g= "مرحبا";
g.append("\n اهلا");

so here the text start from the left, note that i am using a textView to display this String.

Answer 1

Depending on what result you want use one of these in the TextView s Layout:

android:textDirection="anyRtl"

(this sets text layout to Right-to-left)

android:gravity="right"

(this aligns the text on the right)

I think if you want to have some lines left and some right you could use html markup, but I'm not sure about that.
