Android LinearLayout – Center Align To center align LinearLayout, assign android:gravity attribute of this LinearLayout with the value “center”. Let us create an Android application with LinearLayout containing two Button widgets as children. We shall center align these children using gravity attribute.
android:gravity controls the appearance within the TextView. So if you had two lines of text they would be centered within the bounds of the TextView. Try android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" . Notice that this won't work if a RelativeLayout contains an attribute android:gravity="center_horizontal".
To center a view, just drag the handles to all four sides of the parent.
Show activity on this post. android:gravity="center_horizontal" for align text Center horizontally. android:gravity="center_vertical" for align text Center vertically. android:gravity="center" for align text Center both vertically and horizontally.
What's happening is that since the the TextView is filling the whole width of the inner LinearLayout it is already in the horizontal center of the layout. When you use android:layout_gravity it places the widget, as a whole, in the gravity specified. Instead of placing the whole widget center what you're really trying to do is place the content in the center which can be accomplished with android:gravity="center_horizontal" and the android:layout_gravity attribute can be removed.
If you set <TextView> in center in <Linearlayout> then first put android:layout_width="fill_parent" compulsory
No need of using any other gravity
<LinearLayout
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/linear_profile"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center_horizontal">
<TextView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="It's.hhhhhhhh...."
android:textColor="@color/Black"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/title_bar_background">
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="HELLO WORLD" />
</LinearLayout>
Use android:gravity="center" in TextView instead of layout_gravity.
Just use: android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
It will put the whole textview in the center
