I have the new Version of Android Studio (3.1.4), but I can't find textAlignment. I've already searched in "View all Attributes". Do somebody now where I can find it.
Thanks for answering!

Here's how I resolved the problem (on Android Studio 3.3 - Build #AI-182.5107.16.33.5199772, built on December 25, 2018):
- In Android Studio, open build.gradle (Module: app).
- Look for minSdkVersion
- Changing this to 17 (from 15) did the trick for me. I suggest you try the same, unless you really need it to be earlier.
- Android Studio will rebuild your project and you should now see the textAlignment attribute right below textStyle.
Note: I had the same problem and I noticed that the TEXT_ALIGNMENT constants were only introduced in API level 17 (see https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View).
Let me know if this helps.

I currently use Android Studio 3.2.1 (Build #AI-181.5540.7.32.5056338, built on October 9, 2018) and it is still there for me. At the exact same place, where it has been in previous versions.
If you can't find it for some reason, there is still the possibility to write it manually within the properties of your TextView in the XML file with the following (changing "textStart" to the value you want):
android:textAlignment="textStart"

Changing the minSdkVersion to 17 worked for me. (Android Studio version 3.3.1)

1Consider mentioning these only in comments, since this could be not a solution for everyone having the same issue. – Anas Abu Farraj Mar 02 '19 at 15:53

you need to use gravity-->center in all attribute pane for text alignment in newer version of android studio

I am using android studio 4.2.2 and changing the sdk to 17 did bring the setting back as suggested above but changing the gravity to right and left also works similar to the text allignment.
