Android - Center TextView Horizontally in LinearLayout
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>
Use android:gravity="center"
in TextView
instead of layout_gravity
.
<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>
