    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="185dp">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="154dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/team_bg"
        android:padding="6dp"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/teamOneName"
            android:layout_width="143dp"
            android:layout_height="42dp"
            android:text="HOME"
            android:textColor="@color/my_white"
            android:background="@color/my_transparent"
            android:textSize="23sp"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:gravity="center"/>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/teamOneScore"
            android:layout_width="143dp"
            android:layout_height="132dp"
            android:text="3"
            android:textColor="@color/my_green"
            android:textSize="127sp"
            android:gravity="center"/>
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="154dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@drawable/team_bg"
        android:padding="6dp"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/teamTwoName"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="42dp"
            android:text="AWAY"
            android:textColor="@color/my_white"
            android:background="@color/my_transparent"

            android:singleLine="true"
            android:gravity="center"/>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/teamTwoScore"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="132dp"
            android:text="1"

            android:gravity="center"
            android:layout_gravity="center"/>

    </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Edit: I've changed to layout according to the answers, but the bug is still happening. This is my new layout:

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/teamsBox"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="185dp">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="154dp"

        android:background="@drawable/team_bg"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:padding="6dp" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/teamOneName"

            android:background="@color/my_transparent"
            android:textSize="23sp"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:padding="8dp"
            android:gravity="center"/>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/teamOneScore"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="3"
            android:textColor="@color/my_green"
            android:textSize="127sp"
            android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"/>
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="154dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@drawable/team_bg"
        android:padding="6dp"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/teamTwoName"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="AWAY"
            android:textColor="@color/my_white"
            android:background="@color/my_transparent"
            android:textSize="23sp"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:padding="8dp"
            android:gravity="center"/>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/teamTwoScore"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"

            android:textSize="127sp"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:layout_gravity="center"/>

    </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Answer 1

To problem is in the TextView itself, the large size of the text is not calculated by the gravity attribute.

Try adding this attribute to your text view android:includeFontPadding="false"

Answer 2

set your textView's android:gravity to center_vertical | center_horizontal center_vertical | center_horizontal

<TextView
     android:id="@+id/teamOneScore"
     android:layout_width="143dp"
     android:layout_height="132dp"
     android:text="3"
     android:textColor="@color/my_green"
     android:textSize="127sp"
     android:gravity="center_vertical | center_horizontal" />

Answer 3

Remove hard coded width and height and use weight .Try the following data

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/teamsBox"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="185dp" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="154dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:background="@drawable/button_background"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:padding="6dp" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/teamOneName"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#123456"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:text="HOME"
            android:textSize="23sp" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/teamOneScore"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
            android:text="3"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:textSize="127sp" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="154dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:background="@drawable/button_background"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:padding="6dp" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/teamTwoName"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#123456"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:text="AWAY"
            android:textSize="23sp" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/teamTwoScore"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
            android:text="1"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:textSize="127sp" />
    </LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Answer 5

Your linear layout which is having the edit text and one text view height is lesser than you have given height to its children. Please calculate height for the edit text and text view and accordingly adjust height of your linear layout.

Here You just need to give wrap_content to you text view and .

1. change in text view 

    android:layout_height="132dp"

To

    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

2. Increase you linear layout height to

    android:layout_width="184dp"

3. remove below pading tag from your linear layout

    android:padding="6dp"

it will fix your issue.

Answer 6

只需使用match_parent作为textview的高度。
