I have the following layout i'd like to make the textview appear in the center and middle of the view. How can i acheive this?
I've tried adjusting the various gravity attributes when looking at the layout in graphical view, but nothing seems to change it. I'd like the textview in the center which i've done but halfway down the view.
thanks matt.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/carefreebgscaledalphajpg" > <TextView android:id="@+id/textviewdatefornocallspage" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center" android:text="You have no calls for " android:textSize="25sp" /> </LinearLayout>
set the gravity to center in your linearLayout tag :
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:gravity="center" android:background="@drawable/carefreebgscaledalphajpg" >
or use a RelativeLayout
like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@drawable/carefreebgscaledalphajpg" > <TextView android:id="@+id/textviewdatefornocallspage" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:text="You have no calls for " android:textSize="25sp" /> </RelativeLayout>
simple i have tried to many answer but all answers are not working ......finally this methods works for me
<LinearLayout android:layout_below="@+id/iv_divider" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/_10dp"> <TextView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/mycredits" android:textColor="@color/colorGray" android:gravity="center" android:textSize="@dimen/_25dp" /> </LinearLayout>
