Add android:orientation="vertical" to your LinearLayout. Default orientation is horizontal.

you can set the TextView gravity to right and make the LinearLayout orientation horizontal as below

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:visibility="visible"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
orientation="horizontal">

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="end"
    android:gravity="right"
    android:text="Hello World!" />

</LinearLayout>

Try this code :-

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:visibility="visible"
android:orientation="horizontal">

<TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="end"
    android:gravity="end"
    android:text="Hello World!" />

</LinearLayout>
