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 .

ViewCompat.setLayoutDirection(tableRow,ViewCompat.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL);
