how to align the text(hint) in the center of edit text

In this code although i have used text align attribute to set the "hint" in the center of the Edit Text view. But it is not working properly.

 <EditText
        android:layout_width="300dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/editText"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:hint="Enter number here"
        android:textAlignment="center"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

You can use gravity with "center_horizontal" value or set padding top and padding bottom
