You can use android:fillViewport=”true” to center the content. Something like this: <ScrollView xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” android:layout_width=”match_parent” android:layout_height=”match_parent” android:fillViewport=”true”> <!– content –> </ScrollView>
You should use android:gravity=”right”. layout_gravity is for the view (EditText) alignment against the container.
Try this: android:gravity=”top” <EditText android:layout_gravity=”center” android:id=”@+id/txtMessage” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:layout_below=”@+id/lblMessage” android:layout_width=”wrap_content” android:width=”250dip” android:text=”hello” android:maxLength=”760″ android:gravity=”top” android:lines=”4″/> so android:gravity=”top” sets the text at the “Top” Position. You can also set different android:gravity attribute value such as center, bottom, center_vertical, left, right, center_horizontal, etc. Enjoy !!
All I can see is that the textAlignment is a member of the View Class and the gravity is the member of TextView class. So for the TextView and its subclasses you can use the gravity while you can use the textAlignment for all Views. As the TextView and its subclasses need some more text-aligning … Read more

When you use android:layout_gravity it places the widget, as a whole, in the gravity specified. Instead of placing the whole widget center what you’re really trying to do … Read more
