Right gravity of textview in listview in android

Question

I want to display data of emi calculation in listview, i am displaying it but the problem is it's gravity is not same for every textview in row, i mean i set gravity right for all but it's not looking in linear as in screenshot

I want every textview in right aligned and should be liner column vise.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="1" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/emi_calc_row_tv_year"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Year"
    android:layout_weight="0.2"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_gravity="right" />


<TextView
    android:id="@+id/emi_calc_row_tv_principal"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Principal"
    android:layout_weight="0.2"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal" 
    android:layout_gravity="right" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/emi_calc_row_tv_interest"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Interest"
    android:layout_weight="0.2"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_gravity="right"  />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/emi_calc_row_tv_total"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Total\n(A+B)"
    android:layout_weight="0.2"
    android:layout_gravity="right"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"  />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/emi_calc_row_tv_balance"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Balance"
    android:layout_weight="0.2"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_gravity="right"  />

</LinearLayout>

then try to set `android:gravity ="right'` instead of `android:gravity="center_horizontal"` — ρяσѕρєя K, Aug 24 '15 at 07:56

Use android:gravity="right" instead of android:gravity="center_horizontal".

And change the width from android:layout_width="wrap_content" to android:layout_width="0dp".

This is an example from your code, i've tested it and it works.

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/emi_calc_row_tv_year"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Year"
        android:layout_weight="0.2"
        android:gravity="right" />

Firstly, I think you are confuse the define of two attribute android:gravity and android:layout_gravity.

android:gravity sets the gravity of the content of the View its used on.
android:layout_gravity sets the gravity of the View or Layout in its parent.

So, you need change each TextView to

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/emi_calc_row_tv_balance"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Balance"
    android:layout_weight="0.2"
    android:gravity="right"  />
