Question

I have an ImageView aligned to the parent right in a relativeLayout.

Here is my layout:

<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/row" android:background="@null" style="@style/ListRow"
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <TextView android:textStyle="bold" android:textColor="@color/primary_text" android:text="Username" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@+id/username" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/avatar" />

    <LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@+id/time_item" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignTop="@id/username" android:layout_alignBottom="@id/username" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true">
        <TextView android:textSize="@dimen/font_size_small" android:text="12:00AM" android:textColor="@color/secondary_text" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@+id/date" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/avatar" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5.0dip" android:layout_alignParentRight="true">
        <ImageView android:id="@+id/picture" android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:layout_width="48.0dip" android:layout_height="48.0dip" android:scaleType="center" android:adjustViewBounds="true" />
        <ImageView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    </RelativeLayout>

    <TextView android:textSize="@dimen/font_size_small" android:text="aslkndalskndlaksndlaskndlaksnlansldnaslkndalsdnaslkdnls" android:textColor="@color/primary_text" android:id="@+id/body" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/avatar" android:layout_below="@id/username" android:lineSpacingMultiplier="1.2" />

</RelativeLayout>

Here is what it looks like:

When starting a new line of text I want the text to align on to the right instead of the left. I have photoshopped what I want. Here is what I want:

Anyone know how I should modify my layout to where it does this? Thanks!

Just add one more property in your TextView body.

android:gravity="right"
