How to right align widget in horizontal linear layout Android?

Question

This is the code I am using and it is not working:

Answer 1

Adding view is bit difficult and it cover all screen width like this:

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

<View
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1" />                

<Button
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Try to this code:

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="right"
    >

    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Create Account"/>

</LinearLayout>

As a supplement to alcsan's answer, you can use Space since API 14 (Android 4.0 ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH), document here.

Space is a lightweight View subclass that may be used to create gaps between components in general purpose layouts.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" 
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <Space
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="TextView"
        android:gravity="right" />

</LinearLayout>

For apps that supporting API levels under 14, there is an android.support.v4.widget.Space since Android Support Library r22.1.0.

Here is a sample. the key to arrange is as follows

android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"

Complete code

</LinearLayout>

Answer 4

You should use a RelativeLayout and just drag them until it looks good :)

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/button_info"
        android:layout_width="30dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
        android:contentDescription="@string/pizza"
        android:src="@drawable/header_info_button" />

</RelativeLayout>

Answer 5

Try This..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:orientation="horizontal" 
    android:gravity="right" >



    <TextView android:text="TextView" android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    </TextView>

</LinearLayout>

Answer 6

Try to change the layout_width to android:layout_width="match_parent" because gravity:"right" aligns the text inside the layout_width, and if you choose wrap content it does not have where to go, but if you choose match parent it can go to the right.
