How do I set LAYOUTGRAVITY for a TextView in Android?

Question

How do I set a TextView's layout_gravity by code?

I tried with layoutparams without any good result.

new TableRow.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, Gravity.LEFT | Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);

After using this my text just stays where it is standardly, at the top left corner. Neither the width: FILL_PARENT or the gravity codes do anything.

Change TableRow to FrameLayout. – Dawid Sajdak May 15 '12 at 08:21 — Dawid Sajdak, May 15 '12 at 08:21

FrameLayout.LayoutParams params = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, Gravity.LEFT | Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL)

u can use gravity in code by using below code :

    Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.MyButtonId);
    // need to cast to LinearLayout.LayoutParams to access the gravity field
    LayoutParams params = (LayoutParams)button.getLayoutParams(); 
    params.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM;
    button.setLayoutParams(params);

Android set the gravity for a TextView programmatically Have you seen this response ?

TextView tv  = (TextView) findViewById(R.layout.text_view);   
tv.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER | Gravity.BOTTOM);

 layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.vendor_detail_lay);
    LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
    linearLayout.setOrientation(0);
    txtveiw = new TextView(NewVendorDetailActivity.this);
    txtveiw.setLayoutParams(Gravity.LEFT | Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);
    txtveiw.setId(itemId);
    txtveiw.setText(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(DataBaseHelper.KEYNAME)));

    linearLayout.addView(txtveiw);
    layout.addView(linearLayout);

best solution for keeping existing layout params:

You need to use LayoutParams of the parent layout (hence layout_gravity)

for example if parent is FrameLayout do:

FrameLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = 
    new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(textView.getLayoutParams());
layoutParams.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM | Gravity.RIGHT;
textView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
