Android Spinner - Selected Value text is not aligning correctly

I am trying to implement RtoL functionality in my application. The problem I'm having is with the Android Spinner. I have applied styled to the spinner to align everything as start. This is working fine for the spinner items, but not for the selected text in the spinner. But when a new value is changed, the alignment fixes itself (aligns to right).

start

Below are the styles I have for the Spinner:

<style name="spinnerStyle" parent="android:Widget.DeviceDefault.Spinner">
<item name="android:gravity">start</item>
<item name="android:clickable">true</item>
<item name="android:spinnerMode">dropdown</item>
<item name="android:paddingStart">0dp</item>
<item name="android:layout_width">fill_parent</item>
<item name="android:layout_gravity">start</item>
<item name="android:textAlignment">viewStart</item>
<item name="android:paddingEnd">0dp</item>
</style>


This is what the spinner alignment is like when the view is first entered (with value already selected).

After I selected a new value, the alignment fixes itself:

Any ideas how I can fix that for the entry scenario?

When you initialize the ArrayAdapter, just use the android.R.layout.item1 for
Spinner to show each item.

spinner = ((Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner));

ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("Djibouti");
list.add("Egypt");
ArrayAdapter adapter2 = new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
android.R.id.text1, list);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter2);
