In spinner xml, I'm using:

 android:entries="@array/cars"

where cars is list of numeric items.

The spinner automatically align values to left, and I can't find in xml/code how to change it.

You have to use a custom view here to give alignment to the Spinner values. Create a CustomView like this answer has created and add android:gravity to the TextView as right.

UPDATE:

Set the CustomView to your adapter using 

adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.your_custom_created_view);

    10x again. I can add adapter to my code, but I can't set my custom view to this adapter because it's now "TextView" and not a Spinner. – David May 17 '12 at 05:33

    As of now, alignment of the selected item of a spinner can be changed by `android:gravity="right"` directly. I'm not sure when they changed this ... – Dominikus K. Mar 31 '16 at 13:11

You can use TextAlignment on properties and select TextEnd, or android:textAlignment="textEnd" on XML simple

You can try with spinner item text alignment right end :

view.textAlignment = View.TEXT_ALIGNMENT_TEXT_END
