How to align-justify a Paragraph if TextView is not align-justify the Text?

By using the WebView we can align a text to justifying text for both RTL and LTR supported Languages.

Just follow the following easy steps.

Add WebView in your layout abc.xml file

<WebView
    android:id="@+id/webView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:visibility="visible"
    android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
    android:padding="10dp"
  />

<WebView

android:id="@+id/webView"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:visibility="visible"

android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"

android:padding="10dp"

Create an HTML tag String
for RTL supported languages.

String text; text = "<html><body dir=\"rtl\"; style=\"text-align:justify;\">"; text += Your_Content_String; text += "</body></html>";
