EditText, How to start typing from end to beginning?

Question

I have an EditText where the user can put in a desired amount of products.

Now what i wish to do is, that the EditText input starts from the end and fills up to the beginning.

Example:

Amount: _ _ _ _ 4 5

and not

Amount: 4 5 _ _ _ _

The _ _ _ should demonstrate the EditText.

Thanks in advance.
