How to set the cursor to the right (EditText)?

How to set the cursor to the right with right align and hint text?
Is it possible?

I have a AutoCompleteTextView and a EditText with Text right align and an hint text. Now if one of them is focused the curser is before the hint and not at the end of the line. So it looks like now it's bad...

I've also tried to set the cursor position, but it didn't help of course.

<AutoCompleteTextView
    android:id="@+id/input_snm"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_below="@+id/input_ipAdresse"
    android:ems="10"
    android:gravity="right"
    android:hint="@string/input_snm"
    android:imeActionLabel="@string/Button_berechnen"
    android:imeOptions="actionDone|flagNoExtractUi"
    android:inputType="phone"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/padding_small"
    android:textSize="@dimen/fontsize_medium" />

Ok, I think it's an System error, isn't it?

Solution

  • You can use like this:

    if (your_edittext.getText().length() > 0 ) {
    your_edittext.setSelection(your_edittext.getText().length());
}

    Can you add this line to your EditText xml

    android:gravity="right"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"//you set this as you need

    But when any Text writing you should set the paddingleft to zero

    you should use this on addTextChangedListener
