Answer 1

android:gravity controls the appearance in a TextView. Therefore, if you have two lines of text, they will be centered within the TextView. Try android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" .

Answer 2

Use this:

 android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" 

inside textview

Answer 3

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginTop="10dip" > <TextView android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center" android:text="Connections" /> </RelativeLayout> 

Answer 4

use layout_centerInParent="true"(layout_centerInHorizontal,layout_centerInVertical)

gravity means algin text in text mode, not the view itself

Answer 5

replace textview with code below

 <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:text="Connections" /> 

Answer 6

add only this android:gravity="center_horizontal"

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginTop="10dip" android:gravity="center_horizontal" > <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:text="Connections" /> </RelativeLayout>
