right-to-left

I am using my application with hebrew (right-to-left) layout.

I have a feature where I open an activity with EditText in it - where I put some text (previously entered by the user) to be edited by him.

However, when I do setText I find out that the text is aligned to the left of the edittext instead of of the right. (If I start with empty edittext then it is automatically right aligned when user starts inputting hebrew, but cursor is positioned to the left)

(android:gravity="right" does not work)
