How to center textfield (Codename one)?

I'm trying to set the text alignment in a textfield in Codename One. I've already created a style to set the alignment but it doesn't work.

I can set the alignment to the right and left but not in center. I would like to know how to center the text(value) in the textfield.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thank you in advance.

Center alignment works if you use Textarea instead of Textfield. 

TextArea textAreaInput = new TextArea();

and then :

textAreaInput.getAllStyles().setAlignment(TextArea.CENTER);

But, as Shay points out, during editing the text aligns to the left.

I dont think that you even need to touch the Style but simply use the setAlignment method:

TextArea ta = new TextArea() ;
ta.setAlignment(TextArea.CENTER);
