Right justify text in AlertDialog

Question

Is it possible to right-justify the text in an AlertDialog\'s title and message?

I am showing Hebrew messages but they are showing up left justified.

If you want a quick and easy way to do this, I would just create and modify the default alert using AlertDialog.Builder. You can even create a convenience method and class like so:

/** Class to simplify display of alerts. */
public class MyAlert {

    public static void alert(Context context, String title, String message, OnClickListener listener)
    {
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
        builder.setTitle("My Title");
        builder.setMessage("My message");
        builder.setPositiveButton("OK", listener);
        AlertDialog dialog = builder.show();

        // Must call show() prior to fetching views
        TextView messageView = (TextView)dialog.findViewById(android.R.id.message);
        messageView.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);

        TextView titleView = (TextView)dialog.findViewById(context.getResources().getIdentifier("alertTitle", "id", "android"));
        if (titleView != null) {
            titleView.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
       }
    }
}

Of course you could also change the gravity to CENTER for center alignment instead of right or the default left.
