How to set text at the center right position?

I am using a text view, and its width is matching the parent. I want to set its text to centre right position. If I use android:gravity="right" then why does it move to the upper right position?

I am using this:

 <TextView android:layout_width="match_parent"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content"
           android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
           android:textSize="12sp"
           android:textStyle="bold" />

I have tried this many times, but I could not get good results.

If you want to center the text with respect to the layout, use android:layout_gravity="center", but if you just want the letter to center with respect to the whole word, use android:gravity="center".

You can use:

android:gravity="canter"

And then use 

android:paddingLeft="<your value>"

You can use android:padding to match your requirements. Also use android:gravity="center|right".
