I created a custom drawable for the background of an EditText. I need the text to be left and bottom aligned. It renders fine on screen but the text is not aligned to the right nor the bottom of the drawable. I also tried gravity:bottom and tried setting the padding on top in hopes it would move it down. Is there anything else I can do?

    The right and bottom lines define the content area.

    The line you draw on the right spans the top half of your image. That’s why the text won’t align to the bottom.

    You should draw a slightly longer line.

    Check out the image used by default. (I changed it to blue here though).

    This will give the same result you are having. The text won’t be aligned to the bottom.

    Now if I extend the right line to the bottom, I would obtain the below image.

    This will give you the expected result.
