        <TextView

Answer 1

Your code is well, but I think try this..

   LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams();
   lp.gravity= Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL; 
    holder.linearLayout.setLayoutParams(lp);

UPDATE : Another way to do this :

LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

params.weight = 1.0f;
            params.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;

holder.linearLayout.setLayoutParams(params);

Answer 2

Try Below code:

LinearLayout.LayoutParams params=(LinearLayout.LayoutParams)holder.linearLayout.getLayoutParams(); params.gravity= Gravity.LEFT;

Hope it will work :)GlbMP

Answer 3

SetGravity of LinearLayout sets layout_gravity of LinearLayout in his parent. Change singleMessageContainer width from fill_parent to wrap_content . And this will work

Update : use Gravity.End and Gravity.Start

Answer 4

To place the view on the right side of the RecyclerView, you must wrap the layout of the outgoing chat message in a simple layout and set the child's layout_gravity to "end":

<FrameLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/singleMessageContainer"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@null">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/singleMessage"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="end"
        android:layout_margin="5dp"
        android:background="@drawable/bubble_a"
        android:paddingLeft="10dp"
        android:text="Hello bubbles!"
        android:textColor="@android:color/primary_text_light" />
</FrameLayout>
