|_________|    |_________|    |_________|      |_________|    |_________|    |_________|  

first three shows what happens when I call myTextView.append(“text1\n”); myTextView.append(“text2\n”); in the order. but I want it to be like the second three. how can I achieve this, or does this already exist?
any guesses or offers are welcome, thanx in advance.

PS: there is no limit for lines, it should be scrollable also.

edit: here it says aligning to right using html, so I am thinking of using html but not sure. link:

Answer 1

Set android:gravity="bottom" on the TextView in your XML layout. That will align it to the bottom of the view, and as you add to it the contents should push up.
