Android Question Edittext gravity

[Roger Daley]

Hi All

A small problem with Edittext alignment.
I want the text to be Vertical_Center and Horizontal_Right. Using the designer I always end up with Vertical _Top no matter what the setting.???
In code when I use Gravity.Vertical_Center it is also Horizontal_Left.

I can't figure out how to use two gravity parameters in code. Is this possible?
[The padding is set to zero.]

I've tried it with the designer and it works properly.

Yes.
Best option is to use B4XView when you can:

Sub Globals
   Private EditText1 As B4XView
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Activity.LoadLayout("1")
   EditText1.SetTextAlignment("CENTER", "RIGHT")
End Sub

Or:

EditText1.Gravity = Bit.Or(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, Gravity.RIGHT)

Thanks Erel. The Bit.Or is exactly what I need.
