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

尝试使用

textView.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT)

Answer 3

您可以使用设置 textview 的重力

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

Answer 4

1.) Make sure the width is not set to wrap_content

2.) If the text view is inside another container, set gravity to the container. Remember that gravity is to align text and stuff like that while layout_gravity is used to align views within a parent.

3.) TextAlign aligns text at the beginning, end, left, or right of the container. Gravity is a bit more flexible with Center_Vertical, Center_Horizontal, or Center.
