use locale (ltr/rtl) for gravity in TextView

by

I had this problem too, you can use these properties with the TextView

android:textDirection="locale"
android:textAlignment="gravity"

or just add it to the Base App Theme in styles.xml` 

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="android:textColorSecondary">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="colorButtonNormal">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="android:textAlignment">gravity</item>
    <item name="android:textDirection">locale</item>
    </style>`

That worked for me.
