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.

Answer 1

After struggling with this for an hour (the solutions above didn't work for me), I managed to align the AlertDialog's title and message to the right, without overriding any styles, simply changing the gravity and layout params.

In DialogFragment:

@Override
public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();

    // Set title and message
    try {
        alignDialogRTL(getDialog(), this);
    }
    catch (Exception exc) {
        // Do nothing
    }
}

The actual function:

public static void alignDialogRTL(Dialog dialog, Context context) {
    // Get message text view
    TextView message = (TextView)dialog.findViewById(android.R.id.message);

    // Defy gravity
    message.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);

    // Get title text view
    TextView title = (TextView)dialog.findViewById(context.getResources().getIdentifier("alertTitle", "id", "android"));

    // Defy gravity (again)
    title.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);

    // Get title's parent layout
    LinearLayout parent = ((LinearLayout)Title.getParent());

    // Get layout params
    LinearLayout.LayoutParams originalParams = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams)parent.getLayoutParams();

    // Set width to WRAP_CONTENT
    originalParams.width = LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;

    // Defy gravity (last time)
    originalParams.gravity = Gravity.RIGHT |  Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL;

    // Set updated layout params
    parent.setLayoutParams(originalParams);
}
