How to text alignment to right when use weight for TextView

i want to set text alignment to right when my TextView is set to layout_weight my application must be support old versions of android such as Android 2.2. this below layout does not set correctly alignment to right TextView:

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:id="@+id/loading"
        >
    <TextView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight=".42"/>
    <TextView
            android:id="@+id/response_text"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="43dp"
            android:layout_weight="6"
            android:textSize="18sp"
            android:layout_gravity="right"
            android:text="@string/please_wait_to_response_from_server"
            />
    <TextView

Using "weight" and "layout_gravity" won't work 'cause you are telling the layout 2 different things. If you want your text to be right aligned, you can use "gravity" instead of "layout_gravity".

android:gravity="right"

Hope it helps.
