Left align description text

[apps4research]

Is it possible to left-align the description text somehow. I've tried overwriting the gravity for the about library in my styles xml but it has no affect.

Alternatively, if I could disable the standard description and use .addItem which I can customise that would solve my problem. However, I can't seem to not show the standard description.

@apps4research, how are you?

You can access description TextView by ID and then update gravity property, like follow:

// Do that after calling setContentView( aboutPage ).
val description = findViewById<TextView>( R.id.description )
description.gravity = Gravity.START

To know more about about_page.xml IDs you can access: https://github.com/medyo/android-about-page/blob/master/library/src/main/res/layout/about_page.xml

I know what you probably are thinking about: why did you not use "kotlin-android-extensions" syntax?

Yes, I tried, but it did not work. So, findViewById() was an another option.

Have a good one.
