Answer 1

I dont think this is supported by android. Maybe using justify could do it, but it only works on Oreo and beyond

Else I would try a custom text view, where the 2 texts are aligned to the sides.

But I don't think you can achieve this very easy.

Answer 2

So i solve it by adding second textview

You could use dynamic strings with strings.value for this. For example: in strings.xml add this:

<string name="left_and_right_alignment">%1$s %2$s</string>

and in your class you can use:

getContext().getResources().getString(R.string.left_and_right_alignment, "left", "right")

Hope this helps.
