Answer 1

From what I see, for custom.analog.clock.AnalogClock1 you only set the gravity to the left, the Layoutgravity should be “left”. Or you could just set the gravity(not only Layoutgravity) of clock_layout to “left”, that should align all its children to the left.

P.S please format you xml code before copying it here(ctrl + shift + F).
