My question is very simple. How do I center the text on a button in android? I tried to set padding to 0, gravity to center but the result when i run it still that the text is horizontal centred but not vertical. The text is a bit shifted to the bottom.
<Button android:id="@+id/btnSame" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:layout_marginBottom="10dip" android:layout_marginLeft="10dip" android:layout_marginRight="10dip" android:background="@drawable/layout_button_different" android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal" android:height="30dp" android:padding="0dip" android:text="@string/equals" android:textColor="@drawable/layout_button_different" android:textSize="50dp" android:width="70dp" /> My be also relevant: In activity I do this:
btnEquals.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null,getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.up2), null, null); btnEquals.setPadding(0, 5, 0, 0); btnEquals.setTextSize(15); This works but after this I set this:
btnEquals.setCompoundDrawables(null, null, null, null); btnEquals.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0); Result is a bad vertical alignment.

android:gravity="center" for text center in TextView. android:gravity="center_horizontal" inner text if you want horizontally centered. android:gravity="center_vertical" inner text if you want vertically centered. android:layout_centerInParent="true" if you want TextView in center position of parent view.
If you have a single Button in your Activity and you want to center it the simplest way is to use a RelativeLayout and set the android:layout_centerInParent=”true” property on the Button.
We can center the button by using the following methods: text-align: center - By setting the value of text-align property of parent div tag to the center. margin: auto - By setting the value of margin property to auto.
It's easy peasy, you can put this:
android:textAlignment="center" If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
