Comprison of Layout_gravity and gravity.And sometimes Layout_gravity does not work

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <!-- The layout_gravity example -->
    <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <!-- notice that the textview's width is as same as its content,
         In this way, we can set "layout_gravity" property 
         to let the textview to "left,right,top,buttom" of its parent
     -->
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/layout_gravity_test"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:background="#CCCCCC"
        android:textColor="#000000" />

    <!-- The gravity example -->
    <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_marginTop="20dp">
    <!-- notice that the textview's width is match the screen,
         set "gravity property" is set the content of the textview to "left,right,top,bottom" 
     -->
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:gravity="right"
        android:background="#CCCCCC"
        android:textColor="#000000" />
    </LinearLayout>
    
    <!-- The "layout_gravity" property does not work example -->
    <!-- 1.When we set the LinearLayout's orientation to horizontal,
         and set layout_gravity to left or right,in this way,
         "layout_gravity" property will not work.
         
         2.Also,when we set the LinearLayout's orientation to vertical,
         set layout_gravity to top or bottom will not work
          
     -->
    <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_marginTop="20dp">
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/not_work"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:background="#CCCCCC"
        android:textColor="#000000" />
    </LinearLayout>


    <!-- How to solve this problem and not change the LinearLayout's orientation -->
    <!-- wrap the TextView with a LinearLayout -->
