How to make TableRow right-to-left

Question

How can I add views to TableRow right-to-left? the default mode is left-to-right. I tried android:gravity="right" and android:layout_gravity="right" inside both TableLayout and TableRow but didn't work. for example:

<TableLayout
    android:id="@+id/tableLayout1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="right"
    android:layoutDirection="rtl"
    android:stretchColumns="*" >

    <TableRow
        android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:gravity="right"
        android:layoutDirection="rtl">

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button1"
            style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Button" />

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

the result is button1 at the left and textView1 at the right but I need vice versa .

Answer 1

ViewCompat.setLayoutDirection(tableRow,ViewCompat.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL);

Answer 2

Your answer is simple. As with any table the first entry you chose will appear first, in your case button1, you need this to be TextView for it to be placed before the button1.

<TableLayout
    android:id="@+id/tableLayout1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="right"
    android:layoutDirection="rtl"
    android:stretchColumns="*" >

    <TableRow
        android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:gravity="right"
        android:layoutDirection="rtl">

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

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button1"
            style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Button" />


    </TableRow>
</TableLayout>
