Kotlin Android TextView – Justify Text

There are two method to justify your Text View which are given below:

METHOD 1:

To justify text in TextView through layout file, add the following attribute key : value (   android:justificationMode="inter_word") to the TextView.

<TextView     android:id="@+id/tvJustified"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:justificationMode="inter_word"     android:text="The text in this TextView is justified." />
