I have arabic text, therefore I set gravity to right in order to start text from right side. Text starts from right now. But another issue is text starts to render from the top of the page. But I need to vertically center the text.
Although I tried several variations I couldnt make it vertically center.
Here is the sample of my xml file.
android:id="@+id/linearLayout5"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"
android:orientation="vertical" >
android:id="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_marginBottom="23dp"
android:gravity="right"
android:padding="@dimen/padding_maintextview"
android:text="@string/text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textSize="20sp" />
Problem is with above textview.
Here I have put whole xml file.
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/page1background"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/padding_large" >
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="196dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/padding_Title_Top"
android:text="@string/text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textSize="20sp" />
android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/textView1"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical" >
android:id="@+id/view1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="5dp" />

android:id="@+id/back_arrow"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="30dp"
android:layout_marginRight="45dp"
android:layout_weight=".5"
android:background="@drawable/backbut"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="45dp"
