title: How do I center and left justifiy hint text in EditText?
body: <p>Here is my layout which does a good job of centering the hint, but how do I make the hint left justified with say a margin of 10dip ?, (ie I want to keep it centered vertically but also left justified)</p>
  
  <pre><code>             &lt;EditText
                  android:id="@+id/mobilePhoneNumber"
                  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:visibility="gone"
                  android:inputType="number"
                  android:ellipsize="start"
                  android:gravity="center"
                  android:layout_marginTop="10dip"
                  android:hint="@string/lbl_hint_enter_mobile_phone_number"
                  android:textSize="14dip"
                  android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
                  android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
                  android:maxLines="1" /&gt;
