    app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.509" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>`

When there is more than one line of output in @+id/textView2 the text touches the left/start of the parent layout.How can I make it not to touch the start of the parent view when there is more than one line of output.

Here is the calculate function :

public void claculate(View view){
        String s = editText.getText().toString();// Taking the value of the editText and converting it to string Using to string.
        Double kg = Double.parseDouble(s);// converting string to int.
        double pound = 2.205 * kg;
        textView2.setText(MessageFormat.format("The value in the pounds is {0}lbs", pound));
    }
}

Thanks in advance:)

Try using android:gravity = "center". When the output is long enough to touch the both end of the parent it will center the text and avoid aligning to one side.
