To align a text in a TextView in android,
Layout xml file
Add android:gravity="center_horizontal" to the TextView to make the text center aligned horizontally. For center vertical alignment use android:gravity="center_vertical"
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:textSize="22sp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="@string/my_text" />
</LinearLayout>
In Java Code (Programmatically)
You can also achieve the same in java code,
myText.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
Gravity.CENTER: Place the object in the center of its container in both the vertical and horizontal axis, not changing its size.
myText.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL: Place the object in the horizontal center of its container, not changing its size.
myText.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);
Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL: Place the object in the vertical center of its container, not changing its size.
